> Thanks, maybe that's why my doctor wasn't so keen on upping it. His suggestion was that I just try to keep myself "busier." Guess he thinks I'm the bon bon and pedicure type (no offense to anyone; I'd love to do that!!!) but it's a matter of energy and not willpower, which he seems to think it is. It's not. Maybe I need a new pdoc.
> antiguaI'd say so. If your pdoc says that you just need to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, well, that tells me it might be worth looking for a new one.
In my own, not so humble opinion, a pdoc who sees you maybe 1/2 an hour a month is in no position to know if you're busy enough or not. And it offends me to think that he's treating you with apparently so little respect. Think about it -- that is disrespectful. "You're not depressed -- you're just lazy." What a not-helpful thing to imply.
Good luck, whatever you do.
