Anika, this thread means so much to me. I feel so supported; thanks so much.

I first read it around 3:30, while I was waiting for my old pdoc to call. I was hoping that he would be able to take care of me over the phone (we are 200+ miles apart), because I don't like the pdoc I've found here at school very much. I was very low, and convinced that he wouldn't be able to help me, or even want to help me.

For the first time in months, life exceeded my expectations. Not only did he agree to take me on again as his patient, but he was able to detect that I was depressed from some questions he asked (the man is a genius; I had a long list of symptoms I was going to complain about, but I didn't even need to consult it because he knew exactly what to ask). He told me that he was concerned, and he is mailing me a script for wellbutrin.

This is the first time since coming back to school that I felt a mental health professional truly listened to and sympathized with me. I feel more hopeful than I have in weeks. Life is strange; I feel like your positive energy helped bring about this extremely positive event in my life. So thanks.
