Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
this is 2days journal entry - just in case anyone was gonna ask me how the doctors went.
fuckinridiculouscrappyshittystupidasfuckDOCTORS ! they suck ! i mean they REALLY suck ! rrrrrrr !
so, my conversation with the doctor went like this:
DR - "so, u mentioned on the fone that ur feelin depressed, have been havin suicidal thoughts and r on anti depressants."
ME - "yeah, i've just been feeling really really down and its like it gets worse n worse n worse, and i just really have been feeling like i wanna give up."
DR - "you're taking sertraline right ? how about increasing the dose to 100mg ?"
ME - "ok but im not even sure if the anti depressants are even WORKING cuz i dont feel any better i feel awful."
DR - "well we'll try an increase in dosage and hopefully that will work."
*DR begins 2 write prescription*
ME - "is that all you can do ?"
DR - "yes for now, and i'd like you to fill in this survey about how badly ur feeling."
ME - "do i bring the survey back 2 u so u can read what i wrote ?"
DR - "really sorry but i have a LOT of patients to see....just go complete the survey in reception and hand it over at the desk."
*DR is standing and gesturing to the door*
*i leave, complete survey and hand it in at reception.*
This conversation was very probably LESS than FIVE MINUTES !
I MEAN SERIOUSLY ???

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...
*so you're suicidal*
*yes, i think im going to kill myself*
*well, there's nothing i can do to help you, its not my responsibility*
so i really know how that feels. if only doctors had a clue eh...then maybe we would get somewhere. thinking of you here if u need me x
im hoping that the survey you filled out will send up a red flag for them and they will call you back....so sorry this happen to you hun.....what a system eh???
