So I have a doctor's appt. coming up in a few days...just for a regular physical, but my mom is going with me. Well, lately my depression has been getting really bad again, and I've been thinking of asking for meds because I am pretty desperate at this point. Thing is, I haven't been on meds for over two years. The only 2 antidepressants I've ever tried have been Prozac and Zoloft, both made me physically sick and didn't help with my depression at all. However, I'm willing to give meds another shot because I'm getting bad again and I don't know how else I will get through it...Meds may be my only option. I can't do therapy because I can't keep regular weekly appointments due to lack of transportation. My mom and I are lucky we even have a ride to this upcoming one. That being said, I feel like this would be my only chance to ask. I want to talk to my mom about seeing if we could ask the doctor on Fri. about referring us to someone who could prescribe me something. I don't know how to go about this though, because I'm pretty shy when it comes to talking to my mom about my "issues". She's always been pretty supportive, or at least she acts like it. But deep down inside I have this irrational fear that she secretly doesn't believe I'm in pain and thinks I'm just being a regular hormonal teenager. How should I ask her about this? I have 3 days to work up the courage to talk to her and come to a decision.
