Update on appointment

daronsmommy

I had my appointment and the doctor thinks I have moderate depression. I really don't want to be on meds yet, so she gave me a prescription and told me I could fill it if I wanted to. She suggested a counselor and I called and made an appointment for next Thursday. I came home after my appointment but couldn't stand DS and I being in an empty house so we went and had a little retail therapy! DS got some really cute new clothes. I found a ring I wanted but didn't want to spend $25 on myself (I should have bought it anyway). I'm ready for my DH to get home so I can talk to him about everything. I hope he is as supportive as he acted when I told him I made the appointment.

Glad to hear things are looking up

I totally know how you feel, but don't feel bad if it comes to medication!  I really didn't want to take it, either, so I've been doing therapy for over a month.  I finally realized I need actual "chemical" help.  The way my doctor explained it, it made sense to me...but I hope for you therapy does the trick.  I just think a lot of us resist the meds, bc my Dr. said people feel it makes them look weak...but you just have to remember it's an illness, and you are not weak if you do end up needing the meds to get your "brain chemistry" back in alignment.

 Good luck!
