what about your OB?

How old is your lo?

Alot of time it can be grouped under PPD and they can address it. Mine did.

Not that I've found

Quoting Sophia's Mommy♥:" You'd think it's pretty important if I called twice and asked both times to be seen this week  "

Listen, do NOT let this discourage you!

These are just people going about their day doing their duties and they have no clue about you or what you are battling. They listen to people bitching and moaning allllll day.

Alot of people call for the tiniest little thing and unfortunately, office staff gets a bit "immune" to the calls and really do not make anything "urgent" especially if they don't know you.
While this is def NOT ok by any means, please don't let it push you back.


I would honestly say that if you do not get a call today, it may be worth it to see if your PCP could recommend someone else, someone that has the time to see you and gives you the attention you deserve.

How are you holding up?

I'm not sure. I don't think they'd prescribe me anything.

She'll be 4 in February. I feel really bad that she has to see me so sad all the time. She's been acting out lately and I get so frustrated I just yell at her to go in her room   Then I feel like a horrible person after and that makes me more upset.

Should I call back today?


I think the puppy is feeling better. He's more active and happy.

DD stayed home sick today so I couldn't go to school and I've already missed to many classes because I have no energy or motivation to get up and go.

My house is messy, I need to do dishes and laundry but all I want to do is lay in bed and sleep all day.

SO and I have been arguing a lot lately also.

Glad to hear the puppy is doing well  

Everything you list is pretty typical of depression  
But the good news is, you don't have to feel that way forever.

and yes, I would call again, I think they ar not understanding that you need to get the ball rolling and if they are unable to give you an appointment in a reasonable time frame, maybe they could refer you to another facility?

I really hope I don't feel like this forever. It's terrible. I get so angry and sad sometimes that I just want to punch a wall or to anything to inflict pain. I cut myself when I was like 12/13 and I've been having the urge to not necessarily cut but to do something to cause some type of pain to make the anger and hurt go somewhere else besides building up inside of my head.

DD doesn't listen to anything I say and I find myself screaming to get my point across.

My dad suffered from depression and bi-polar disorder, my mom suffered from anxiety, my uncle suffers from depression, anxiety, and bi-polar disorder.

My parents were drug addicts and ended up losing custody of me and my little brother like 5 years ago. and my uncle has tried killing himself.

I don't want to go down either of those roads.

I just want to be happy

I called back and a different lady answered. I told her that I called twice yesterday and that my PCP referred me because I went to him because I was feeling depressed. I told her that I'd like to be seen some time this week if it was possible and took down my contact information again. Hopefully someone calls this time. Ughhhh

Since you have some mental illness in your family, I can def see your concern.

But you ARE addressing it and you won't let it get the best of you.

Once you actually get a call back and the ball gets rolling, I think you will feel much more positive.

Ok, good

Maybe those details will be enough to at least get an appt scheduled.

How frustrating

I hope so  

Jess, how are things with you?
