I had my pdoc appointment today by phone.
No med changes. She acknowledged my anxiety and depression but said there's not much else she can do for me at the moment.
I'm waiting for an appointment with a special mental health clinic. I've been there twice before and it's where I got my bipolar diagnosis. They do research there and it's where I got my treatment plan from. So my pdoc just follows that treatment plan and we've reached the end of the last one I got so now I need a new plan.
The Wellbutrin is partially working. We'll wait another 2 weeks to see if it's affecting my sleep.
I'm still feeling depressed and generally quite low. Lots of negative thoughts and the anxiety isn't helping. My pdoc did say I'm coping well so that's good news.
The Wellbutrin is reducing the body pains I have from the depression. It's just a small reduction at the moment but it's better than it was.
A friend is coming over this weekend for lunch. We'll meet in the backyard and the weather is supposed to be warmer by then.
