I'm having a really tough time again. I've turned into a needy, high maintenence friend. I don't know how to make myself get ready for another day. I'm not doing anybody any good with the depression I'm in. I wish I could just change my attitude and make it all better. I wish I could just focus on others like I"m supposed to and not have this pain be in the way. I wish I could think straight at work and not be so forgetful. I wish I wasn't in crisis. I don't even know WHY I'm in crisis. I don't know why I'm so upset all the time. I can think of a hundread reasons why, but I don't know how to manage all of this. I'm embarrased to ask for help from my doctor because I don't want to be one of those patients who bugs the doc without a "real" reason. I don't want to deal with the receptionist's confusion when I tell her why I want to see the doctor. I don't want to look as needy as I am. Especially when I don't know why I'm so needy. I feel like I look crazy and I probably do look crazy. I just don't want to be written off as merely crazy when I could benefit from some help. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist at the beginning of September, and it just feels too far away. I need help now and short of going to the hospital, I don't know how to get it.
I am sorry to hear your feeling this way. You do need to call your doctor and tell him/her what is going on with you. You say that you don't want to be one of those patients without a real reason, my dear friend, you do have a real reason..Depression is so real for so many people. Your doctor would be very upset if he knew he was failing you. Please call him and tell him what is truly bothering you..depression. I am not sure if you are going to counceling but please look into getting into some if your not. You are worth saving and you are worth making that call to get some help. You don't have to feel this way!! Huge hugs!! Tracy
