Call them. Tell them suicide sounds SO nice and restful, and could they PLEASE move your appt up. If they can't get you in, call someone else. All you really have to get out is that s-word. Mentioning suicide is key to all the help in the world.
You've just got to get through this. Like I told the nurse this morning, as long as you can SEE the light at the end of the tunnel, it doesn't matter how long the tunnel is. But when that light goes out.... :(Just keep telling yourself that you just have to get to the appointment. No further...don't worry about that. Just concentrate on getting to the appointment.
Pulling for ya...
sl> This post concerns depressive issues in general .... I wrote awhile ago. My new M.D. thinks I might be bipolar, with more of a unipolar presentation (and prescribed Topamax to deal with the anxiety, irritability high-end stress at the top-end). This is my second week. Can't tell how it's going. I do seem a little more lethargic. But good grief, I'm still so depressed, I just wish -- I just wish this depression -- my life -- this grief -- would end. How do the rest of you hang on? I'm a single mother with a 16 y.o. child. Were it not for my son, I'd probably just fall off the ends of the earth. To-date I've tried 11 different drugs .... I'm about ready to call it quits, and don't know if I can hang on through the next six weeks until my next appt. to meet with this new guy again .... Suppose I should call to give him an update .... Anybody out there with treatment resistant depression? What can I do? I've tried New Age therapies ... prayer ... drugs -- prescribed, and -- well, recreational.
