Going To Get Help Today

[Katz2]

Hey folks,
What a morning, upto 90, feeling sick, panics, got the shakes too, I'm going to see the doctor today and see if they can put my on the waiting list to see someone.

I may ask about meds too, I dont know. I guess I hate this bit more than anything. Will I get help, will they listen, will they think I'm being melodramatic, sometimes I think I'm melodramatic, but I cant cope. :sick::eek::barefoot:

Wish me luck

I'm sorry you're having such a bad day today Katz. I wish you luck, and I'll be praying for you. Hang in there and know that you've got friends here that you can vent to! :hug:

Hi Katz Well done for taking that decision, that's the first step on your road to recovery. I'm sure it has been a tough one but take some pride in the fact that you are looking after yourself.

A few years ago I would have said stay away from meds but, having taken them I now know their value in our recovery.

I wish you all good luck & hope you get some help soon. Whatever you do, don't go into dr's & say 'oh its not too bad' as I did. Just tell them as it is!

Hey Katz2,

I am supporting you and really hoping the appointment goes well. It's a brave move and I'm with you every step of the way.

Good on you girl! You are strong!

And you're not being melodramatic at all, you need help and you are worth it and deserve to get the help.

:hug:

Hey Folks,

Thats me back, I'm glad to say I didnt hold back, I gave the Doctor everything, between snot, panics and hysterics, it all came out. I was really lucky the Doctor was very respectful of my problems. She managed to get everything out of me, stuff I've not told anyone, I felt really silly, but I needed to do it. I've been offered meds....I'll think about it still!!! and I've got an appointment with psychologist in a few weeks and we will take it from there. So I did it :) and that voice that pops up in my head that says negative things to me, can just shut up. :)

Thanks for all your support everyone :hug:

That's so great Katz2, well done, I knew you could do it! It is really hard, but you are strong.

I'm glad you were able to express it all and have an appointment in a few weeks with a psychologist.

I always think I am being melodramatic or even lying. You are not and are being brave to go in! Well done and good luck.

Wow! You've taken a huge step for yourself, way to go! I'm glad everything turned out well. I hate meds too, but I take them and they help me for now.
