So I was awaiting my Pdoc's phone call, well she called she basically said try Melanoma to sleep and then call next week and make an appt if that doesn't work, then she will put me on Haladol. I said yea okay, whatever. I said what can I do about this depression that will not go away, can you increase my Prozac? She said do you want to kill yourself i said NO, but I do want to cut-she said that is implusive behavior and if you feel like you want cut go to the Stabilation Unit. And then she said ok, talk to you later. Bye!! I am so upset, why do I even have a Pdoc and T cuz they don't care about me or my problems.

((((Purplebutterfly)))) if you're not happy with your T or your pdoc...do you have the option to change them, look for different ones? i'm sorry i don't have any better advice for you. i know it's not easy but please hang in there, things will get better.

I am just tired of changing, it's okay I will be just fine eventually

i know it's hard. we all get to that stage where we're so tired we want to give up. please try and hang in there and draw strength from knowing there are people here who care about you. i'm sorry i can't be of more practical help but ...again...hang in there, you're sure to get some helpful responses soon.

Honestly, I don't think pdocs really care. They do meds and could care less about the person. Pdocs are like "15 minutes and NEXT."

I would not be too upset if your pdoc blew you off. They suck. Mine can not even remember what meds I am on. Ridiculous.

Is there anyone else you can rely on? T?

(((((((purplebutterfly)))))))))))))) sometimes it seems like they don't care... in all reality, they'd have to, to be in this sort of 'helping profession'. Sometimes they just lack social graces, or time to be personable. What's your relationship with your T like?

Melatonin can be good for sleep, but I have read that it is contraindicated for depression. Maybe it depends on what kind of depression you have though.

I'm sorry she wasn't more help to you. I hope your T helps you more. Pdocs these days mostly write prescriptions and don't spend that much time with people. Your T should be teaching you how to cope, but that's still hard. What are you doing to cope?
