Can you genuinely be described as "emotionally unstable" when all you feel is apathy?
I know that this is such a daft question so I apologise for that!
Just to summarise; I have depression, had a spell of apparent "wellness" for a couple of months at the beginning of the year before crashing back into depression again around May time. Because of this slip, my GP has written to my psych to try and get my review date moved forward, a copy of which was sent to me the other day.
Now the letter is brief, concice and indeed acurate. However, I have been described as being more "emotionally unstable" over that past couple of months which kind of threw me a little really. Only because frankly, I often feel desensitized and almost void of emotion an some occasions. I almost want to experience some emotional instability rather just than being smothered by apathy; Nothing really makes me happy, nothing really makes me cry, nothing really excites or inspires me. I don't care for old hobbies/interests and just get through the day in some robotic fashon. I exist.
Now here comes the stupid question; does that description of myself fit the criteria for someone who is emotionally unstable?!
Again, I'm sorry for asking such a daft question! But, part of me thinks that my GP may have just got the wrong end of the stick or whatever, but then another part of me thinks that perhaps it's infact me that has grasped the worng end of the stick, you know?
Man, I'm so insecure at times. I will bring it up with my GP, but a opinion on this would be great if anybody has one to share, just incase I've misread or misinterpreted things or whatever.
Thanks for reading
