Hi, I am new here and feeling not so good as some of you may have read above. I'm thinking it's time for the doctor to really figure out what's wrong with me rather than pulling out her big book and deciding what drug to give me. I can't blame her because I'm not really forthcoming about all my problems. I feel intimidated at the doctors even though she is very nice. I also tell her how I'm feeling at that time but not what I may have been feeling a few weeks ago. I don't seem to see her during my depressed times so I always deny depression. I tend to down play my distress.
Anyways to make a long story short, I'm at my wits end and have decided I really need help. I sat down and basically wrote my mental biography from when my problems started. It is like 3 pages long. I think it can give her an accurate discription of where my head is at. When I read it I'm thinking, wow, you really are messed up and I'm scared of actually printing it out and giving it to her. What do you all think? Will she appreciate this or think I'm taking up to much of her time. Also I'm so scared I would probably chicken out too. For some reason I'm scared she'll think I'm exagerating things when the opposite is true. This is stuff I never tell anyone. Well, anyways, I look forward to hearing your replies.
