I'm 37 years old and live with my disabled mother who has been suffering with depression for most her life. I never understood it until I got it. She worked 27 years at a nursing home and feared getting fired daily. She almost died in 2002 and I took over supporting her and myself until she got her disabilty later on. She worries about everything and projects the worries unto me. I started having anxiety attacks around the time she became ill. I have never married and have no children. In July I was fired from a job I had done for four years in the cleaning business. This new company had taken over the contract in Oct 2004 and grandfathered all of us in only to blame us for losing the other contract when we were the only ones holding everything together. The company fired their first two managers and made a new guy with zero management experience a boss. He tried to force people to quit as he did myself and if we didn't we were fired and unemployment was denied and they always seemed to keep us from getting it in appeals.
In Aug 2005 I was in car wreck when woman ran red light and hit me in side totaling my car and breaking my neck. I am still seeing a chiropractor after being released by neurologist. My mom is now supporting me on a meager disability check and I was getting $108 in foodstamps. During this time I have daily anxiety attacks, severe depression as does my mom who drives me more crazy imagining things. Although I was told I was able to work without restrictions I feel that I'm always going to have neck pain. I took a job last week with the cleaning company I previously worked for at a different job site. After suffering daily anxiety attacks and severe neck pain, I quit the job today. I am not on any medication, but my mom is and Lexapro doesn't seem to help her. I was on Paxil CR for a year and did ok. I cannot afford to go to clinic to see Dr and even if they prescribed something if it was too high I'd be unable to pay for it so I'm not sure what to do at this point.
