Gail please try to breathe through the panic it will go away, sending out calming thoughts to you, hang on in there, there is nothing worse than fear itself, you can do it ....I am holding your hand you are safe.

Gail please go to the hospital if you are feeling suicidal. Get some help to get throught this very difficult time. There is always another choice...you just have to look really hard sometimes to find it. Keep us posted...you DO have friends here!!!

I know that quotes can be so corny, but the one that I've been trying to remind myself of lately, and that does seem to help me feel not so out of control, is this

"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however."

When I feel out of control, which I obviously recently have felt a lot, I'm not focused on the right things.

finally got a hold of p-doc, taxi driver gave me a line on another apartment and showed it to me on the way to the pharmacy. Hope I can get it, met the building owner and gave him my number. He owns quite a few units in town. Will call him again tonight. Think the bank can give me a letter of good credit rating. Work on that next week. I thought about going to the hospital but p-doc has doubled my effexors so hopefully in a week or so I will be feeling better depression wize. Also gave me more seroquels to help me sleep. I am not suicidal trully just in very deep depession. Last night hubby flipped on me on way home from work, I took a cab to town and ended up at bar and tryed to go to a friends for a safe place to stay for night. There were heavy thunder storms and friends hubby started verbally abusing me in defense of my hubby. I was hopeless in defending myfelf from the insults and ended up being thrown out crying into he rain. This was the person who was going to rent me the apartment. I told him to shove it the sun don't shine. Called a cab to come home a 2 in the morning and as soon as I walked in he door hubby left the house. I couldn't go into work today cause I looked so terrible and I was too weak with exhaustion. I told them it was a personal emergency. Hope I don't get in trouble over it. Will go to sleep early.

Gail,

If the apartment isn't available immediately, can you go to a Shelter. I am sure there is one somewhere in your area and you will be safe there and the people will help you to move forward with your life.

Please seek refuge and take care of yourself.

Thankyou Anna that shelter is 40minutes drive and far away from work plus it is full so they would send me to another shelter 3hrs drive away. I have had fights with docs and hospital and even tried to get our company CEO (Butterball Turkeys) to fund one for our town. No I can't go that far away. I will not lose my job or run away in panic. p doc has doubled my meds and I am off work to focus on getting into the apartment. Am settling down staying home, not answering the phone calls and keeping doors locked if I feel threatened in any way whether it is hubby or any of his fiends. Am safe for now, it's more emotional abuse than anything else. Hubby has seen how ill I am over it all and can't deny, especially when everyone else at work has seen it too today. A dizzy headed bowl of jello from the side effects of doubling up on mes and the anx.
Will rest, apartment hunt while he is at work. Next week. I need to gather myself some strength to go back out again. Thank you all for being here for me.
