How are you feeling?

[BlueDays]

So I'm considering going back to the doctor to explain that I need a referral to a psychologist, but even just thinking about it is making me nervous! What the hell!

Maybe I should stick a fork in my eye and that'll force me to go to the doctor. Then, while I'm there, getting my eye fixed up, I can casually slide in the sentence-starter, "well, while I have you here...."

This is ridiculous.

Hey, at least stick the fork in your arm where it won't damage a major body part





seriously, that is a good idea to go for something else to get you in there, and then mention the need for the referral. Is there any other minor medical problem you could use as an excuse to go there for?

Good luck
I hate my doctor. The first and last time I was there because of my problems with SA and depression she wasn't taking me seriously and was even mocking me. I couldn't remember the name of my last therapist (the therapist was private so I didn't have a record) and therefore assumed I was lying. Thank God we don't need a referral to see a psychologist here or else I'd be screwed. I'm never seeing that woman again. I'm not trying to discourage you here, I'm pretty sure most of the doctors are not like mine. In Slovenia, most people still don't take SA as a "real" illness, not even doctors - maybe the younger ones, but the older ones don't.

Good lu... huh? o.0

Hope you have the courage to do it without mutilating yourself

I hope so, too! I need a shot of vodka or something.

Excuse the "cornea" joke, but that's an "iris"-ky procedure to do it. "Eye" see what you want to do, but just calm down, listen to some calm music and call him. You can even listen to the music while you're calling him to help keep you calm. Or you can take the plunge and ask him when you're refreshed before "paralysis by analysis" kicks in. Either one of those should get you the "optic"-al results! Don't think so much about it and just go forward.

Haha, so many eye jokes. I have already listened to some good music and I haven't continued that because I thought I was going. You're right, I do need to just have zero thoughts and just do it.

No, I have no other issues I need to address except getting the referral. It would make it a lot easier if I did have something else to address but I have nothing. It's nerving for no reason. :/

Wow, that sucks, Clara. Being mocked is certainly not what needs to happen in situations like that.

I don't need a referral but getting one will chop some of the cost off about 6 visits, which will eventually save me about $600. It's not necessary but it's financially the best thing I can do.

Thanks to everyone for replying.

Well, just over an hour before I have to leave for drum lessons and then work. Looks like I've run out of time, anyway.

I am absolutely hopeless. :/

As long as you have a breath in your body, you'll always have time. Don't rush things; take them at your own pace for the best results. I hope that you make it out of this Mikey.

Thanks, Deadman. I hope so, too. These feelings are quite belittling but I want to get them sorted.

Lets out a *SCREAMMMMM* Thats what I feel like now.

 

[Sophoboss]

I am tired, and I should probably go to sleep. There's nothing for me to do this late at night, but for some reason I always feel compelled to stay up wasting time.

 

[BiWinning]

I feel like I am possibly the worst person in the world.
Like, ever.

How are you the worst? You are a wonderful person, trust me. I've seen "the worst" and you are not one of them, by far. I hope that you feel better; although, I wish I could show more, like showing you how wonderful a person you really are.

 

[Clara001]

Annoyed. My hair is all over the place.

 

[this_portrait]

I have to be up in approximately 4.5 hours, and I'm not even that tired. Oh boy.

 

[TheRadicalAnxiousLefty]

Depressed. I have been sitting at my computer the entire week, at least 10 hours per day, doing nothing. I still haven't opened the email, even though I will be receiving a letter from uni saying I'm at risk soon.

I haven't told my mother, father, or any other family what is going on with me; they don't know that I'm depressed, don't know that I'm going to be kicked out of uni, don't know that I don't have a social life, and don't know that I haven't had the energy to look for work or get off my butt.

*SIGH* my head is really not in a good place right now. The future appears bleak and joyless. I'm at a loss of words for what to do.

Sorry you are feeling so down atm :/
Have you spoken to your doctor about how you feel? Sometimes just talking to someone about it can help a little.

No chance!

Wow, sorry to hear you're depressed so much, Lefty. Definitely talk to someone about your depression in person, as that's the best way to overcome it. I'm about to do the same and yours sounds worse than mine.

It can be very difficult to find any kind of motivation or long-term goal for anything when you're feeling in the dumps - I know. I feel that right now. For you, though, you've got University at stake. Do you really want to give that up or do you want to push through whatever's getting you down and battle on? I've never been to University but I know from a few friends that it's a challenging time.

You can't do everything on your own. Please talk to someone before it's too late.

My inbox is available if necessary.

Good luck.

Confused.sad.wondering what I did to deserve having a friend beat me down. There are not many things that will shake your confidence as much as having someone suddenly stop talking to you then top the insult with a sound emotional beating. It makes me wonder why I bother honestly. If that's the kind of people the world sends my way, why try to do the friend thing.why put myself out there. Why care about how others are doing. There isn't a point. The only person truly there for me is myself. It might be better that way.

 

[Dead_on_Arrival]

^Friend......

 

[Piece_By_Piece]

Really mixed up and exhausted.

 

[this_portrait]

Surprisingly not that tired. I'm on a train right now heading back to the hometown for the day/evening.

 

[Falkor]

Good, good Having a good day finally again, at school
I have been avoiding this for like mostly of the week ::
Today I've managed to get back... I'm sooooo glad!!
I definitely don't wanna give up my school, it's so good to be here.

I took an oxazepam.. Yeah.. Well, if it helps, why not right?
I just made an appointment with my psych to talk about new meds..
NO Risperdal baby :: Just medication for my actual problem.
The anxiety.... A medicine to make me feel calm...
So that school will go just fine...

I'll pray that my psych will prescribe me some good stuff!...
Any advice from you guys? ;]
