I don't really know where to put this ... so Ima just going to plop it here
I'm sorry to moan but I need to vent a bit ...
So today I went to dr for follow up from going about 5 weeks ago and started taking 20mg of prozac. It works a little bit I think. But not great, yet
Anyway Im thinking he will just say stay with what I am taking or maybe a little increase cos I know ssris work on me at some point, it's not really complicated.
What I got was told repeatedly that I must be stressed cos I work hard and that is why I am depressed and would I consider counselling. Blah blah blah.
Then, I have some bruises from playing volleyball on the beach last weekend. And he asks me basically if I have an abusive boyfriend "It looks like someone's been grabbing you".
And no matter what I said, that I love my job, they are even sending me away to Malaysia for a week and a half (only five days of that is work training), and that work actually keeps me sane(ish), I just got lectured about the work-life balance repeatedly.
So because I don't sleep that wonderfully I got given some amitryptamine to add to the prozac and sent off again.
I know it's not exactly the worst experience anyone has ever had. But it makes me frustrated. Im functioning ok at work but because I am ok with that then I must be depressed because of work??
Im so tired of feeling sh*tty and now I feel like Im not even being taken seriously/believed etc. He seems like a really nice man but man ... he doesn't listen ... and if I had said any more times that work is GOOD and doesn't STRESS me and Im just MEH anyway (when I don't have any good distraction with work etc) then I probably would have sounded stressed because I would have been virtually yelling at him!!!!!
Im tired of this. It is totally shite.
So ... who else has something to vent about ... floor's all yours
