Bumped by my doctor

[Lost1980]

So I was supposed to have an appointment with my doctor this Friday and I was going to ask for a depression screening. I really wanted to get help and my doctor canceled my appointment today.

I feel so fractured.

Hey you should check zocdoc to see if anyone else can take you!

Sorry for the late response. I did end up trying the website. My doctor originally rescheduled for May 20th. The new doctor had an opening on May 13th. It’s somewhat better.

[Hidden in reply to Lost1980]

A bit better, definitely! Try to soothe yourself until then. I know it’s so hard. We’re all here for you!

[Lost1980 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you.

I'm so glad you got another appointment I know it's really frustrating when something like that happens. The anxiety is hard to take. I'm kind of surprised the new place didn't take you sooner though but that's not too far to go. Yes as unicornsrule said we are all here for you!🤗

Thank you. I’m by no mean generally a positive person. But luckily I’ve chosen to see this situation as a new start by getting a different doctor. So I’m going to keep it in my mind as a silver cloud.

[Hidden in reply to Lost1980]

That is an excellent way to look at it! That is very positive. The time will go by quickly.

How are you feeling?

[Lost1980 in reply to Hidden]

Also thank you for asking.

[Hidden in reply to Lost1980]

I’m so sorry about your dad. Promise me you’ll message me when you feel like this?

[Lost1980 in reply to Hidden]

Ok, I will. My rationale mind always wins. I love my wife to much to cause her the pain of ending my life, so even though she doesn’t know she helps me with my depression she does.

[Hidden in reply to Lost1980]

Amazing. You are here for a reason and your wife sounds like a great person, too!!

I’m doing fair I have moments were I’m overwhelmed some, and tend to mentally attack myself (thinking everyone and everything would be better if I didn’t exist). But they are getting fewer and I feel better. More hopeful even though it’s a long wait till May 13th.

It’s just been extra challenging and chaotic since my father died in March.
