I saw my psychiatrist yesterday... and I left laughing... he is going away for 2 weeks on holidays so I asked him what he was bringing me back... he said his smile... I told him I wanted something more tangible ... he said then he would give me his bill...

I guess I will not be getting a pressie...

We discussed the report he has to do... I still do not know what he is going to say... he has to think about it a bit more... I asked that he think about it and send the report soon... but he is going away... so i guess nothing will happen before 2 weeks... oh dear...

He also talked about changing my meds... despite laughing I am still in a severe depression... what is going on... I do the dep test and still I am severe depression... my score was higher than last couple of times... it goes down a little and then goes back up again... and I still feel no different... but I have to wait until he comes back from holiday...

I talked about not feeling down and not feeling up... I can't remember what he said to that... I often forget what we talk about...

I have to wait for 2 weeks...

take care

Comments from the community:

Ms cate... you have a wry sense of humour yourself, and I've learnt to appreciate it just from your diaries and comments.

I'm pretty steady on the DepTest now, and have been for a while, but I remember when I was in the severe zone, and it wasn't pretty. I think it's pretty normal to forget what you were talking about with your Dr - that's why they take notes I guess.

I don't know you from Dixie, but I do want to encourage you. You will dig your way out of this hole you're in, I'm sure. The reason you're still alive is because the will to live in you is so strong! One of these days, that will is going to come fighting back, telling you to get off that sofa, get into the shower, get your shit together and really start living. I know you want to! I also know it's bloody scary...but when it happens, don't ignore it - get out there girlfriend, and start finding out what it means to live again.

In the meantime...big *virtual* hugs.

Didn't know Dr T had a hummour!!!

Surely you should get a copy of the report - Dr S lets me read his reports or gives me a copy of what he has written. Ask Dr T about that when he comes back from holidays.

Great sense of humour you have with him. I can't even ask Dr S how his holidays are/go - you have one up on me!!! lol!!!

Change of meds seems to be a common thing here on depnet at the moment. Good luck with yours. I will be in the hospital hopefully the week of 25/8 given the place is full/was full when Dr S came back to work on 14/7. I can understand you when you say the depnet tests say the servere depression because I have it as well and tonights one it dropped quite alot which stunned me given all that has been happening with me at the moment. Think Dr S will be stunned with that big of a drop.

Go Cate!!!

Hi cateblack, thanks for the message. Just wondering if i should be relying on hubby at this time, probably not huh. Thinking about not returning to work if i cant rely on hubby cause its too much.

What do you think?

Thanks for your comment today. I have let it go. Just making the last point about it as I have taken action over it but thanks for caring about me/the past and my health.

Go Cate!!!

PS I know it can be hard to let go but I have done what I needed to with regards to the mods and it is now in their hands but I wanted the person who pointed the polite gesture to realise that hurt me because I thought I was doing the right thing - wrong!!! lol!!!
