Have you tried any CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) or is she starting with the medication first to be able to handle the treatment.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Jo Just a thought here from a guy Maybe he is feeling kind of not only stressed as you said but a little umm guilty because he can not fix it. It¢s a guy thing we are fixers. The dear about your daughter that sounds like miss placed anger to me. I have been guilty of it a time or two also and yes in a blended family to boot. Here not an easy thing some times to deal with and each has there own set of things that have to be dealt with good or bad. Now this is some thing I had a very very hard time with some time back I always had what could be called top of the line credit. well a time came in life I had to chouse a roof over my head and food in the refer and cabinet for the month or pay the bills .I tried for months to do both and I could not, some bills had to be let go for a month so I could buy food and then I cut back food some time to pay a bill or get caught back up on one. In the end I made a chouse roof food or bills. The bills lost out. I could always rebuild my credit but I could not rebuild my health or some how get by with out my meds and all that stuff. In the end I stopped paying the bills but the house ones like power and that kind of thing. Life did not end but after a time my stress did. I have felt bad about it but hey I was even to broke to even file for bankruptcy. Now going forward I have started to rebuild my credit but very slow and soundly. It will take time to get if ever were I was I know that but any movement will be better then were I was. To me it was hard but then again there was no chouse. Yes the phone calls are a bugger to deal with but there is a way to even end them legally in the US. But it in no way removes you debt. I still carry that and some day I hope to clean that part up also but for now I did what I had to for my life and my family Hugs the rednecks Marty & G. the redneck's my space http://www.myspace.com/martyg58 To learn about Stills Disease http://www.stillsdisease.org/stills_info For conservitive minded people http://www.americac2c.org " If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
