Egh, I am more depressed than anxious so I do not know what is the xanax for...
I haven't eaten in 24h, I am not anxious. I have taken an aspirin with vitamin C (It tastes so nice...). I am just tired and wanting to cry.

Sorry that happened to you, Oliver. That's very unfair to you.
Did he say why he can't prescribe an antidepressant? If he didn't say why, you should press him on it. You should also see if you can get your doctor to connect you with a psychiatrist of some sort, even if it's temporary. Surely your doctor knows of *at least* one psychiatrist he can talk to? And if not, he probably knows of another doctor in his office who knows a psychiatrist.
