I've been so depressed I had to see the doctor today. I woke up 20 minutes before my appointment and had to run to the doctors' office. It's a 15 minute walk; I can run it in 5 minutes in good weather, but it's snowing here. I made it in about 7 minutes. So I was really hot when I arrived and had to strip down to my vest-top thingy (it's not obscene, just a little revealing). And of course, I'd forgotten I'd cut myself a few days ago (on my arms) and naturally the doc saw it and asked about it. Argh! How stupid am I? Oh well, at least he wasn't freaked out by it.
It wasn't my usual doctor (she's on holiday this week). I told him I'd started taking double my dose of prozac for no good reason except that life just got harder because my mother-in-law is in hospital. He said it was OK to double the meds dose.
He also asked if I wanted a referral to anyone else. I said I hoped to do more therapy but that my regular doctor had said she felt I'm too depressed to benefit from therapy right now. He said he would refer me. So he is going to write to my therapist and it will probably take a few weeks to get to the top of the waiting list, but it looks as if I am going to see my T again.
I can't hardly believe it. I feel a bit nervous...
