I need advice.

I don't know where to begin.  I think I'm depressed.  Life is ridiculously hard for us right now.  DH has been laidoff for a year and is going back to school.  We think he got a job, but we won't find out for another week.  I teach, and our state cut the budget drastically.  I'm most likely losing my job, too.  I've only been back to teaching for two weeks, and I really don't think I can take it.

 I used to love my job...literally LOVE it.  Now, I don't want to be away from DD.  The building is so tense b/c everyone's jobs are on the line.  Or they'll be doing something different next year.  The older ppl are guilty b/c they're refusing the buyout.  Its just tense.  I've been trying to let it slide off my back, but dammit...it's just not effing fair.  They're worried about insurance when I don't even have a chance to start my life.  Our savings is gone.  We probably won't have jobs.  Definitely forget about insurance.  We don't own a home.  We have a daughter...Yeah, I'm bitter that they're turning down thousands of dollars while I'm stuck w/ absolutely nothing.  And they don't even like their jobs or the kids. 

So now I don't know who to go and see.  Do I go to my OB or family doctor?  I need to get some help w/ this.

First off I'm so sorry for everything you are dealing with. That is a lot to happen all at once. I have some similar issues with my job right now and I can't imagine going through that with DH out of work as well.

I think the important thing is that you talk to someone, whoever makes you feel the most comfortable. My issues were very centered on my birth experience and baby so I felt most comfortable with my OB. Talk to someone with whom you feel you can be really honest and open. That is really the first step to feeling better. GL!

i'd talk to the dr you like best.  i also found a support group very helpful, and it was free!  see if you can find one in your area.
