Today was my monthly pdoc appointment. I knew that my GP wanted me to discuss my weight loss with him, but when it came time for the appointment, there were several more important issues that came up, & I guess it was my way of avoiding the discussion at least for the time being. Having so many other problems beginning with anxiety, lack of sleep, extreme energy (how does that go with the previous two?), anger, frustration, etc. I have come up with an idea for coping & we talked it over. It was kind of interesting because he wondered the same thing I did which was if I was only going to exchange one stress for another. He suggested that I try the situation for a while or possibly wait for a while. Unfortunately the longer I wait, the worse off I am financially...way not good. Don't want to be homeless before I can get through school & get a job. He asked me if I was taking any of my meds, knowing that I haven't taken any for almost 6 months. He was so surprised that I have come so far without the aid of meds (which I found only got in my way). I have never seen him write so much in my chart in such a small amount of time...would love to be a dot on the paper & read what he had to say. He asked me if I had discussed this with my husband, which I had. He said to definitely continue on with my psychologist after this.

He is in a difficult situation, because my husband also goes to him. Usually we talk to him together until today, & it proved how professional he is when he never said anything about our conversation to my husband. Yes I avoided the weight subject this time, but some guilt came to me after arriving home, & I ended up leaving a message for him telling him he could call me regarding my weight loss because my GP feels that is is becoming a problem. I figure if he wants to talk to me about it, he will call...since I won't take meds for it, he may feel that it is unnecessary to call...will see.
