what sucks (in a way) is that it's impossible for me to reach a full-blown breakdown. i keep waiting for it to hit, but everyday i wake up with (enough) energy to keep up appearances, make it through the day, etc. but not really function in the way i'd hope to (i guess that's the definition of dysthymia? it's like a volcano which never seems to explode).
so even though my post sounds hopeless - it's true that i am, but there's no real emotional anguish. it's more just concentration/drive issues mixed with a feeling of, well,"i give up". in its own peculiar way, it beats living with constant, life-or-death anxiety.
getting to the doctor isn't the problem. it's more like, oh great another med, what if it doesn't work, and if it does how will i get a psych to prescribe it etc. etc.
