So a lot has happened since the last post. Going from what the doctor diagnosed me with - an under active thyroid mimicking depression - I just went on the medication for that and hoped that would cure it.
Well, I was wrong. Hopefully it's helping my thyroid issues - it's really hard to tell sometimes - but it hasn't done shit about the underlying issues I was concerned about in the first place. Again, I worked up the courage to go the the doctor about it.
I asked for a different doctor - one I was familiar with but don't often see. I went in prepared - I had a story written out of why I feel the way I do and what concerns I had. As with any consultation - they ask what's wrong, how can they help and - I do my best to read the notes I have but I'm shaking slightly, my voice isn't strong, I want to hurl the contents of my stomach into the nearest receptacle that will have it, I can't make eye contact and more importantly.. I don't know if I'm getting my point - or the urgency of it - across like I should.
I appear to have done okay.. the doctor gives me a referral to a psychologist. Dutifully, I call their office and make an appointment.
