I feel the need to have a little rant here...so heads up on that.

I had to see my gp yesterday for refills for Wellbutrin and Ambien. I have been seeing this doctor for about 6 years and I go every three months.

The office staff know why I am there.

So I checked in and sat...and sat....and sat...while my anxiety built and built. It is usually a 15 minute to half hour wait, another 15 minutes in the exam room so it's not too bad.

BUT....after an hour in the waiting room, I got up and told the front desk I was leaving. Patients had come and gone in that time. I nicely said that I was going to go.

Front desk person knew the reason I was there.

I guess that my rant is that I don't want special treatment because I have anxiety and depression. But occasionally a little consideration wouldn't be amiss, I don't think.

Also (many of you can relate, I'm sure) I was darned proud of myself for making an effort.

Now I have to work myself up to going again...

What would you do?
