I never get taken seriously, when I mention depression at this clinic. I guess I come across as being okay. I am not okay. I don't get all dramatic about it. I wish I could talk to someone who would understand what I'm up against.

I think you should say what you need to. Tell him or her you are not okay. Make a list of what you do during the day, that you don't or do go out, track your moods, don't show up dressed to the nines if you know what I mean. My psychiatrist always started with ''well you look good'' i finally said just because I look put together doesnt mean i'm ok. If you wait too long who's going to help? I went to the er and needed help too. I wasn't admitted to hospital. But the crisis worker came and gave me a lot of papers of where to find help. I wish you the best
