Dr appt tomorrow--- nervous :-(

boydstm · June 2012

So I am going back to the doctor tomorrow. I was diagnosed with PPD a month ago and he wanted to see me after I had been on the meds for a month. The meds aren't agreeing with me; I had a major nervous breakdown/hysteric crying fit Saturday night and I am still exceptionally angry all the time. I'm a little nervous about starting a new medicine and having the same problems.

The thing I am really nervous about though is the exam... I am still in an incredible amount of pain with sex and I can't even wear a tampon because it hurts so badly. The exam is gonna be terrible because the pain isn't external pain. I can't even imagine what he is gonna tell me is wrong with me and if he can't fix it, I don't know how much longer my husband can stand only having sex once a week, especially since that once a week isn't fun for either of us.

good luck. i know that with any mental health and physical health issues getting the right medicine can be very tricky. I am glad you are going back to the doctor to try and get the right meds. hang in that and be honest with your health care provider. it is the only way they can truly help you.

p.s. I am sure your husband understands completely and I would bet that nothing would make him happier than a healthy wife.

Going to the dr. is no fun normally-no wonder you are nervous. I hope that you get all of the help and answers that you need, though. Hopefully you will leave feeling relieved and much more equipped then when you left. Good luck!
