That was scary... I went to see my family Dr., because my therapist said that she couldn't work with me until I got a psych evaluation and got back on meds. So I went to see my Dr. and she got really angry with me and said she felt like shaking me... not very nice. She never wanted me to go off anti-deps in the first place, but I went off because of the side effects (which she wouldn't listen to and just kept upping the dose).
If I hadn't felt so vulnerable and down I would have actualy gotten mad. She said she wanted to hospitalize me - I said I didn't want that. She said that if I didn't agree to go to see any psychiatrist she sent me to, she would hospitalize me involuntarily. I felt so crappy - I felt like I was 5 and someone else had to make decisions for me. Life is just way too difficult right now... |

depression does that. Sorry. So did you accept meds or the psych appt? I hope so. Keep trying different ADs one might work without too many side effects. TC

Find another doc and therapist. It is your choice about meds. If you don't want to take them then don't. But do find a therapist who shares your feelings about taking meds. Start calling psychologists listed in your phone book and ask a few questions about what is important to to you (specialty, hours available, how they feel on the meds issue, etc.); then set up a couple of appointments and see who you like. You are in control. Not your diagnosis and not your doctor. This is about you. I think your doctor was very unprofessional in her treatment of you; it sounds like she has her own issues that prevented her from being supportive and helpful to you. ECHOES

Hi Ouch,
I'm sorry you're suffering. Please check out the ITA laws in your state as it may not be as simple as Echoes states. Please always consider second and third opinions as well. Blessings, Okie

That was scary. It's the closest I've come to being hospitalized. I am angry at the Dr., but the truth is I do feel lost... I don't really feel in control. I think I am really worrying my family and close friend - my friend is flying in especially to be with me for a day! and my parents have decided to come for awhile. I feel like I can't cope... It's embarrassing to have everyone coming because they're scared I'm going to do myself in.

Oh Sweetie,
I'm so sorry that you are struggling. What an unprofessional doc. To say that they feel like shaking you? I think I would have had to tell them that I am paying you to help me and to listen to me. If you can't take the meds because of the side effects, then the doc should have said, well, then we will try something new. I had to go through several meds before the doc and I found the right combo. Find another doc. It's your right! I wish you all the best. I hope that your family will help you. Keep posting to let us know how you are feeling. Hugs to you, Boopers (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Ouch))))))))))))))))))))

I am a bit better. I have decided to break up with the guy I have been dating. It's a no end relationship anyway - maybe that will make me happier! I need to gain control of my life again...

Hi Ouch
 From what I read......I think you are crying out for help by going off your medication(s). Your Dr. was venting her frustration with you not abiding by her treatment plan for your condition. Sometimes hospital is the best thing when you are unable to take responsibility for your life. I don't mean this in a harsh or mean way......trust me. I think you need some caring now...and maybe supervised medical intervention could be the answer for you. Take Care of yourself! (((((((((((((Ouch)))))))))))))

Hi Ouch
This song & artist maybe not your thing but I think the message is powerful for anyone that is struggling in life....it's worth a listen (even if it makes your ears bleed)  : "The Bridge" by Elton John : Take Care!
