I had a teleconference weekly with a Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor who has been helpful to friends. She understood the anxiety and depression I was going through, and endorsed my earlier prescription for an antidepressant. She encouraged me over time, and reminded me of progress, acknowledged my sadness at not being able to walk into my wedding anniversary celebration. My husband also was a part of our sessions, since
Neuropathy, lack of mobility and the accompanying early pain affects the marriage dynamics and the extended family. She and I talked weekly for over a year, and her experience, understanding and encouragement helped greatly. I hope someone like her may also help you.
