Note: This wasn't like a formal meeting at the doctor's office or anything like that. I wasn't diagnosed with anything because it was an informal meeting.
I had a conservation with a doctor about my problems, and she said she's worried about: - the random periods where I'm sad or the depression spells - The voices. - my shyness __________________ Don’t compare your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20.~ |

I agree with the doctor. These things do raise concern - especially the voices. It sounds as though she has been encouraging however. If it were me I would pursue this further. What has she suggested comes next?

She recommended me to go to therapy or take medication if it happens again. It was a one time meeting actually and I only came to her during my vacation, so I might not visit her soon. __________________ Don’t compare your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20.~ |

She suggested that if the problems occur again, I might have to get therapy or/and take medication.

I agree with your doctor, Usagizzz. Seeking professional help may be useful. I'd suggesto to go to a doctor and get a proper diagnosis before doing anything else. Sending many hugs to you

How do you feel about advocating for yourself and taking charge of your mental health care? This would involve being proactive as opposed to waiting. Find out for yourself what options exist. Maybe look for a relevant support group. You have taken the first and hardest step already - asking for help.vWe are all proud of you for that. Now to carry that on. Great luck. |

She did mention that I might be suffering from depression spells. She told me that therapy might help me be more confident and might help me be more assertive. She didn't tell a specific medication, but mentioned that it can help. She didn't recommend me any doctor ( due to the fact I don't live in the same area as her.) __________________ Don’t compare your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20.~ |

Do you hear voices only during your depressive spells, or also when you mood is level?
