Went to the doctors again. Since I have been depressed I have been to see the same doctor over and over again. My medical notes must look like some sort of medical A -- Z. Physical symptoms of disease is a common aspect of being depressed. I spent a long time convinced that I had lung cancer. I went to my doctor so many times with imagined symptoms that I really wanted him to tell me that I had cancer just so I could say "Well I told you so".
I took my mother with me this time. I feel that this is affecting her so am going to keep her right in the loop at all times. He has prescribed me anti depressants and I am to report back to him in three weeks to assess any change in my mood. He will then make me an appointment with the local mental health nurse and possibly a psychiatrist to see if any kind of therapy will be affective. I am sceptical, but will try anything now as I need to draw a line in the sand and make a conciouss effort to challenge my state of mind.
blah blah blah
