I need to go an see a doctor today. Not because I am depressed, but because I am possibly suffering from a bout of extreme anxiety, due to some personal issues - I hope I will sort them out soon and move on from this. I am not sure what the doctor can do for me, other than prescribe some drugs which will knock me out. No, thanks... I will only see the doctor because I fainted last week and I want to make sure there is nothing more sinister in it.
Personally, I think my brain just shut down in order to cool off.
Anyway, this all reminded me of a time, long ago, when I was having some serious issues at work and really became fairly depressed. This was the actual conversation which ensued:
Doctor: "What seems to be the problem?" (not really that original)
Me: "Doctor, I am finding it hard to sleep and I feel very low and stressed with my situation at work"
Doctor: "Would you like some tablets to help you sleep?" (they offer them like sweeties, don't they?)
Me: "No, I'd rather be able to talk to someone. Maybe counselling or something"
Doctor: "Have you, at any point, considered suicide?"
Me: "No.... Do you think I should?"
The consultation ended at about there, with me feeling much better and leaving the doctor's surgery with a sick note for a week off work.
There is always a silver-lining.

Hi Andie - Thanks for dropping by my blog and taking the time to comment. Welcome to the Blogosphere - I hope you have fun here. If you have even half the fun I have here, you'll be loving it. It's rather addictive though!
ReplyDeleteOh and I 'get' the tax disc irritation - and why is it so difficult to get them into the flippin' holders you get for them. You have to bend and/or fold them to get them 'in'!
Hope you feel better soon and that your doctor this time proves more helpful than the one you saw before.
Take care :-)
Awww Andie..
ReplyDeleteI liked the comment at the end though 'Do you think I should?'.... I hope you managed to see the doc and sort something out. Although I think it's a case of the old but not very comforting adage..'takes time...' Unfortunately..
Hope you get better sooner rather than later petal :)
Gosh I wish I could write blogs as fast!!
