I feel like my pdoc is sometimes annoyed with me, too. But you are absolutely correct - we cannot help how our bodies and minds react to medications. And truthfully, I think most of us feel like our care providers are annoyed with us. When I've been courageous and actually asked the providers if they are they always say Of course not! This is my job. In truth, I think if anything, they feel like it's on them if we aren't doing well.
I'm with you on walks. I make a huge effort to do some kind of exercise, even if 10 minutes of stretches, every day. And I was taking regular walks, but I've slacked off. I truly dislike walking, unless I'm in a large city with lots of things to look at. I find walking through suburban streets so lonely and even boring.

Thanks! This made me feel a bit better about it all. I think you are probably right a lot of us feel that way. I also realized it might partly be the way he communicates is pretty short and without much expression and it can make it seem like he'd rather I wasn't talking to him haha. So, I think I need to not read into it too much. I agree about the walks, either being in a city or out somewhere in nature works for me, but anything else just bores me.
