Apparently nobody really takes me seriously (except a T) because I "present well".
Those were the words of a Pdoc who should be glad I didn't stick a pen in his eye.
(I was in a bad way and he nearly discharged me from the clinic where I get T and Meds)
Anyway I had a *****fit, my T calmed me down and made me realize that, even though that dr was a douche, he wasn't completely wrong.
And THIS is why my friends are hardly there for me unless I explicitly say I am feeling suicidal.
I'm so sorry you had to play in traffic before anyone took real notice.
Re:work, I would just ask someone if I suddenly had swine flu or something....
ETA. Love the thread title btw, sounds like the perfect title for my autobiography.
