I certainly hope you find relief soon. Everything is so much more difficult when you’re not able to...

Yes i am afraid i might take more than i should on bad days. Maybe I can tell my doc about this if i do get meds.

That is good advice thank you . Thing is nobody close knows about this. And i want to keep it that way but i will think about it.

I understand how hard it is to have supportive and understanding people around to help especially with something like this. I’ve never had any support until recently and I’m extremely lucky that I am able to live next to my mom. But, my mom was a neglectful parent and she suffered from her own traumas from the marriage to my dad so I never really had a Mom. She is here for me now and that’s what counts and I’m here for her too. I’m a pretty good therapist to her:) I’ve gone through my whole life with no one to count on and there was no way I would have let anyone know what was really going on inside me. I’m just very lucky with how my mom and my relationship works pretty good now. I know many people aren’t this lucky but I hope you can find the answers you need:)
 
Do you have someone who can hold your meds?

It only get fills for a few days at a time?
I don't think so... my mom lives 5 minutes away but i can't tell her about this. And i don't trust her with it.
I wil talk to my doc about it if they want me on meds

I live close to my mom too. But she isn't mentally strong enough to deal with my problems. She could feel guilty and get very depressed again and that could kill her. I do have my sister, we allways help each other. We had to since we were very young. But she can't deal with the fear that i will cause if i tell her so there is nobody i can talk to.

Little update
So i am still in a very bad place. Si keeps getting worse, i am of no use at work and can't deal with it anymore.

I went to my appointment at the center who diagnosed me. I told them everything. She gave me a test for ptsd and an extra test for depression. She mentioned something about starting meds, but she didn't know what to do so she sends it in to her supervisor. Now i have to wait for probably weeks before they tell me what options about treatment there are and if there is something for me to begin with. Now i am still scared of them saying, sorry can't help you.

I don't know what to think of all this and how to get through the next few weeks. My follow up with my t is in 4 weeks.

This isn’t right that you haven’t gotten any help at all and have to keep waiting! I’m not sure where you live and I’m so sorry for my ignorance but is it the insurance company you go through that keeps you waiting to see a therapist or psychiatrist? I’m worried about you and need to figure out how to keep you safe.

No its not about the insurance company. I don't have to deal with that because my work does.
Its just they don't know how to help me, because of my tbi it is difficult to see what is from that and what is from ptsd. Also i have signs of depression, had those the first time i got there, but they said it was a result of my tbi and ptsd so nothing was done about it. Now i feel i am way worse. She was kind of worried because i was very flat, no expressions. So she took an extra test. . Now a supervisor has to say something about it.

I have to go to work tomorrow, and have an appointment with my boss.. if i tell her how bad i am she might send me to the company doc.... but i am affraid to since she is my boss and i don't want work to know about the details.
