Hi everyone...I have an appointment with my GP tomnorrow and I guess I have to come clean about everything. I've been going to counselling and the things that I've said in there have alarmed them enough to contact my GP (probably so he doesn't over prescribe...she knows I am balanced on the edge and could go either way). I am afraid.

That is excellent news that you are going.

I went to my GP (no counselling yet) ... it was very scary & I hated having to admit I needed help. She was very kind & helpful.

I will pray that your GP is as kind & helpful as mine was.

blunt...there are so many health issues that can cause and exacerbate depression that I am glad that the call was placed. I hope it is a simple health issue that you are facing, but if not, it is a good start to put a life together that you will enjoy living.

Let us know how the appointment goes.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
