Psych appointment

I went to see my psychiatrist earlier today and I told her about being sick, being stressed and breaking my friendship with Bill. I also told her that I've been feeling somewhat better these past few days.

Guess what? She thinks I may be hyped up. As in, if normal was 5 and depressed is 3 I'm probably at 7 on the 'happy' scale. Well, that wasn't the way she explained it but I thought it was the only way I could explain with words.

As a result, she thinks I need to have my levels for one of my medications checked. Which sucks because it's tested through a blood sample. And I HATE needles with a passion. But I can tolerate getting a blood sample taken out.

Hi a-leng,

To many "happy hormones" arn't good apparently, according to my doc and psych, so try and be brave for that blood test if your meds have to be adjusted it will be better for you in the long term.

Good luck let us know how it all ends up.
That may encourge me to do the same.

Hi a-leng
Needles are yuck. I can symphasize with you there. One of my little girls friends has just be recently dignosed with diabetees at six and has to have two everday and she is six. So be strong if she can cope with that. The rest of us can cope with the odd one.
Take good care of you self.

Sending you one of my smiles and some sunshine
Tracy

this is not over @leng... we need to talk

person24,

If you feel you REALLY need to contact me, please use email, you know what it is. Please don't use DepNet as it may be distressing for other more vulnerable users of this site to read.

By the way, personally I don't think 'we need to talk' at all.

What the ???

Moderators: I thought person24 was removed from this site. When their tag disappeared from their entries, it seemed true... and their profile (such as it was) disappeared too. We were all reassured.

Person24: Why are you still here? If you truly do know a-Leng, then this is not the forum for you to be addressing her personally. Once you criticised her for not having a life and behaving inappropriately. Take some of your own advice please.

a-Leng: You are showing amazing restraint. Congratulations. Hope the blood tests are easy and the results are helpful.
