Going to See Councellor again

    At the risk of incurring the wrath of the regular posters on here, I'm going to give an upate on my position and 'the lie of the land'.

    I've contacted my counsellor for another session. Awaiting her response on that.

    I'm starting my night class soon. So hopefully that should get me out and about a bit. I've also found a photography course which I need to research more. I might also take up some type of Self defence class as I think it might do my confidence good.

    Still got issues about my rented accommodation, not sure if they are real concerns or due to my depression. Am I depressed?

    However, I've got a nagging inclination that I want to move away somewhere for a while. I think part of my problem is that every weekend I run home to my parents as I have no friends here. It is turning this into a never ending circle as I am not forced to stay and face the problem.

    I've always had a notion of living somewhere else for a while, just to experience a different culture. Unfortunately, the one that appeals most to me is USA and that begins my problems. How do I get a Visa to work over there, etc?

    This then raises other questions like Am I running away from my problems? Whats to say that I'll not have the same issues there? Should I consider something like a long holiday from work - i.e. take some unpaid leave and go travelling for over 1 month somewhere. I could do that every other year maybe. Will I regret it if I don't go?

    I've got one final question - should I go back on Fluoxetine (Prozac)? I was on it before. Not sure if it made any difference but I am worried about having to declare it on some helath forms etc if I decide to apply for a mortgage or Life Ins.

    On top of this one of my parents has to go into hospital for checks to determine if they have Cancer. This puts a lot of stress on the family and makes moving to USA (even temporiarly) a non starter until it is resolved.

    Thanks for reading and all replies appreciated.

    Was at my counsellro today. She seems to think I'm an angry person. Got a lot of reading to do now.

    Just wondering if anyone here has taken prozac and if so did they feel it done them any good?


    Thanks.

    Davy12, we cannot answer these things. If you have serious issues with your health or mental health you must discuss them with a medical professional - and only a medical professional, we are not qualified nor able to give you advice on such issues.
