EFT

After coming to the realization that I am definitely suffering from depression the search for help has begun.

It was suggested to me by a friend on a women’s forum I belong to, that I should first rule out a physiological reason for my symptoms. Endocrine malfunctions – such as overactive/underactive thyroid or adrenal glands – could cause most of the symptoms I’ve been experiencing.

As I’ve just moved into this city, I had to search for a new Family Doctor. I’ve learned much about the Canadian medical system this week that I did not know before. Mainly that the Family Doctor or General Practitioner (GP) is the gatekeeper for all other medical personnel and finding a good, qualified GP in my area is somewhat of a holy grail. There is a huge shortage of Family Doctors in this city.

Luckily, a woman who had babysat my children for awhile when I was still running my business talked to her GP and got me an appointment. I will be seeing him next week and requesting that he run every possible blood test to see where all my levels are. Once I get those results I’ll have a better idea of what to do next and perhaps get a referral to a specialist and/or medication.

In the meantime, I am also looking for an EFT practitioner that can help get me started on my Personal Peace Process. I intuitively know that left to my own devices I will never get to it. I have too many events on that list that I’d rather poke my own eye out with a stick than to re -experience them. In short, I can’t do this alone.

Unfortunately, now when I most need the help of a professional is when I can least afford it. We are barely getting by as it is. There is just no room on the budget for $60-$120 an hour counseling sessions. I am not letting that stop me from getting the help I need. I’ve written posts on several EFT online community forums and my hope is that someone will be willing to take me on pro bono. We’ll see how that goes.

I am still tapping on my own as often as I am able. Something is bound to work. I refuse to accept the status quo as my “new normal”. My husband and children deserve better. I deserve better.
