I don't like being seen by a NP instead of the doctor.

Update: I am seeing a new psychiatrist who has prescribed two new medications. (Cymbalta and Remeron) Today is only day four, but I feel some improvement. I am so very thankful.

I buy mine from Amazon by the crate. :ROFLMAO:

My right side runs all the time. Especially when I eat or drink. It is not allergies. I went to a specialist and was told that I have a deviated septum. The doctor recommended surgery to help with my breathing plus it "might" help with runny nose. I take benedryl, but not every day.

I noticed recently that when I go to the store or doctors office, that people treat me as a senior. I know that I am a senior, but I don't like being treated as one. Maybe it is the way I dress (very casual). Maybe it is the fact that I stopped wearing makeup recently. What has your experience been?

Thank you so very much for your support. It is making a difference for me. I feel better knowing I have this platform of caring people.

Update: My new doctor is having me try Latuda and Trintellix. I have been taking them for only three days. I have been very nauseated. I called the doctor's office today and the nurse told me to stop Trintellix. I absolutely hate the adjustment period. Really makes me not want to continue...

Update: I have been having phone appts with my psychiatrist due to COVID19. At my last appt, she told me that she could not treat me any longer and referred me to a doctor 60 miles away. I was shocked that she told me this. I have had one appt with my new doctor. She is changing my medication...

I was have had both anxiety and depression since childhood. Due to an overbearing father. We were not allowed friends in the home. We never had company come over. Dad was emotionally abusive to Mom.

Money and I have had a tumultuous relationship. I still don't know how I could have handled its differently (the events of the past).

I appreciate you sharing your story. Now I don't feel so alone in this. The doctor's office made me feel like I was not trying HARD enough. I finally gave up and stopped going to the doctor for check ups.

I never went into REM sleep during the overnight sleep study. I could not fall asleep. I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. I could not sleep with the mask on my face. So I put it away in the closet. Come to think about it, I should make an appointment to talk to my doctor about it.

🐭 Welcome!

I have a slight tremor in my hands. It effects my hands. This make it difficult to write sometimes. The doctor was not concerned. :(

I just now accidentally took a second dose of my antidepressant. I called Poison Control. They told me that I will be ok. I was in a panic for a few minutes. I can relax.
