So my emotions have been pretty unbearable... medications aren't working, vitamins don't work... I want to end it...
Last time I went to my doctor (before I was lucky enough to start seeing a psychologist and psychiatrist) I had bronchitis, but I decided to mention my depression to him. I mentioned my self-harm and said that it had been severe for seven years, but his answer was "Well, let's cure the bronchitis first and see if that'll make the depression go away."
Now my psychiatrist has been helpful, friendly, and open to my suggestions.
I won't be able to see my psychiatrist for three weeks or more, and even if I do I'm not sure I'll be able to get the specific tests I want done (my psychiatrist is at school, which is in another state and I don't have a car... or friends... so if I had to travel to get the tests, well, that wouldn't work...)
I can see my doctor in a few days. I'd like to see if he could check my thyroid (mom has thyroid issues) and my hormone levels just in case it might be that. I'm also thinking I might have PMDD and if it's not a thyroid issue, maybe birth control will finally end this madness.
What do you guys think? :/
