My life really hit a low. I was losing the one person I thought loved me unconditionally - did my heart have such a big hole to fill - he was going to give up. I've always been very aware of mental health - learning through my childhood and my parents sickness. I have always been able to manage myself - now I knew I needed to get help.
I was so full of anxiety and sadness - I'm sure that was very apparent to the pdoc. I just talked a lot and cried and I am sure I sounded very confusing. At the end of the appointment I was relieved I finally took this step. I was on the road to being understood. She did set me up with medication and a therapist. I actually started feeling better pretty quickly but
it was a long road but so glad I was on it. Good luck!!!! This is a great step you are taking. I have had some great professionals and average ones - but I learned something from every one of them.
