went to see my pdoc today because my anxiety and depression has gotten worse in the las few week. I was feeling like crap and having a hard time getting myself motivated to do anything except sit around and feel bad about myself. In our discussion today about how I feel he told me I need to "kick my self in the butt" and get out and do things even if I don't feel like it. I was shocked at his words and did not know whether or not to be mad or glad at his assertiveness. Maybe I am giving in to my deperssion and anxiety, I don't know but it sure seemed like he felt that way. He did up my meds and put me on ativan for anxiety but he told me that mediation can only do so much and that I have to push through it some on my own. I know there is truth in this but sometimes I just can't seem to get the energy or the motivation. Its like I know in my head what the truth is but my body and emotions don't follow.
What do some of you think of this statement made by him. Have you ever had your pdoc tell you something like this before? Feed back is greatly welcomed.
