Update on my wife. [View all]
It has been a rough two weeks for my wife.
She made me make sure she was up when I got home because she couldn't find her appointment card for the doctor. She called and found out it was today at 10 am.
The doctor up her dose to 100 mg of Zoloft. What I didn't know until she told the doctor was that she doesn't want to think. She sits on the couch and the TV is on and she is surfing the laptop BUT she says anything that takes concentration is hard for her to do. She says she just doesn't want to think.
She did work a couple days this past week and she is looking for another job. She told me she is forcing herself to do that because she is afraid that if she doesn't go to work soon she is going to get worse.
Her mom and my Step mom in Law told her ( they both don't know how bad her depression is) that she can collect unemployment and she can take sometime to relax. I am sure they mean well and don't want her to be a bum of some sort ( not like my one brother who quit his job and hasn't worked in 3 months.) but they tell her if she wants to wait until the weather improves there is nothing wrong with that.
Because she lost employment she hasn't been able to see her counselor. We have to pay out of pocket and well we need to place money into paying bills.
My wife is also making the effort to write the weekly letter to our neighbors in the condo assoc. but no one has responded. This week is looking online to find info on the benefits of pet ownership. but the way she is feeling she ends up staring at the floor or wall. She is getting distracted easily.
The think is we don't know how to ask the Doctor about helping us with getting a script for an emotional support animal.
Some good news: My wife's blood pressure averages about 120/70.
