Depression

[rohini2]

Hello , My tutor has called me in as my doctor has emailed my tutor at university. I don't know how to come up with the topic.

I thought you had doctor patient confidentiality he should not be discussing it or emailing anyone about your condition.

I only thought she would say it vaguely and now she knows a bit more that I thought. I feel like nervous to talk to her.

There is still stigma around depression and anxiety but only for those who have not got it and that's why educating these people not only gives them information it gives them knowledge if they ever get these things happen to them or someone they know.your not different in any way I know it's hard but talking helps.dont be afraid to open up I bottled it up for years then bang depression hit hard.but I'm still fighting and looking always to the future.

maybe its better its in the open air now . I trust your doctor did it because she was concerned and hopes your tutor might help if only by discussing your problem at length & at leisure (I mean with your tutor) . You are free to talkor not , to your tutor (how much do you like or trust the person?) Or you may ask for more reflection time . Don't panic and don't rush . Take care .
