Thank you for your time Dr. I really hope you can help. First off I need to take you back to where it all started. On Oct. 20, 1998 I was shot in the head while I was at work. The 1st yr. (workman’s comp. paid for) me to see a psychologist only for one yr. & it seemed like we were making some progress. My whole world changed. I’m disabled & cannot work anymore. I have medicare/medicaid, they will send me to a psychiatrist, which even before I was diagnosed, they gave me pills. I don’t like to take them pills, it’s not me. I need to try & find a balanced/normal life again. I have so much anger & stress & if (the smallest of things)for which I try to do & can’t (the 1st time I try) Man, do I really go off & explode, I’m yelling at myself, but my dog thinks I’m yelling at her. I’m so tired of feeling depressed, worthlessness & just always in a bad mood, so then all’s I want to do is sleep all day, thinking maybe if I lay down for a while I will wake up on in a better mood, yeah right. I’m not very sociable anymore & I don’t excercise. I did quit smoking cigs, (in Oct. it will be 2 yrs.) I’m so afraid that I’m going to give myself or my dog a stroke or heart attack. Can you please help. Thank you so much. P.s. I do have high blood pressure/hypertension, depression & anxiety
