I s'pose this is going to sound like a quite selfish thread, but hey I don't start them often and I ask forgiveness for my self absorbtion.
The first doc I saw last year (August) threw every SSRI and Tricyclic at me you could imagine. They all made me feel worse and I couldn't even manage 3 days, let alone the 6 weeks it said some of them may take.
Thing is, I changed my doc in Feb this year and from day one he has understood all my problems. I've been up, I've been down, but he's been a lot more to me than the man who prescribes. We talk about various things and I feel we have a connection. It took me a long while to open up, and now I know I can tell him everything and not be judged.
He retires at the end of the month, and I'm at an absolute loss as to where to go next. Theres other GP's in my surgery, but no-one has taken the time, trouble, ear ache at times, but most of all the empathy to deal with me.
I don't want to do it all again, but needs must. I just wish that the one person I could always turn to would still be there.
Selfish I know, but knowing doesn't prevent the way I feel.
I'll make an appointment next week to see him. I'll certainly be taking a card in to express my gratitude. I suppose its the thought of starting over thats so scary and even worse not having a doc that understands.
I just feel like its me against the world again, and the weight of the world certainly has my 11 stone beat.
