I have major depressive disorder. I just spent 6 days in an inpatient facility where I felt like the people there really understood me and how I felt. Now that I am home I have been to my local mental health place and i don't feel like I am connecting with the people I have talked to. I feel like I am talking to a family doctor who just wants to hurry up and write me a prescription and shove me out the door. When I was in the inpatient facility I was told to ask for medication services and therapy when I saw the local place. I did that on the first visit and was told I would be able to get my meds from them. Now three vistis later I am told I need to find a doctor myself because they are booked up until next month. Now I have to explain everything that went on to lead up to my inpatient stay. I don't feel like a regular doctor understands my depression. I'm really upset right now. Does anyone else ever feel this way?

I feel like that a lot. I have also been in inpatient about 5 times in the past 4 years. Every time I leave i have a small hopefulness that everything will be ok. The people in the hospital make it sound like everyone out there will be helpful and understanding. But as you know not everyone is. But there are people out there who really do care and who really want to help. Sometimes it just takes a little while to find the right one. Keep your head up!! I know it is frustrating and overwhelming, but keep trying and hopefully you will find the right doctor that you feel comfortable around and who understands you. Hope this helps.

feel better. you are in my thoughts!!!!!

i know the feeling

it is hard to know whether your therapist understands you or if they are just telling you wat u r feeling

anger management is even more annoying cuz they just point out stuff you already know
