Hey i just wanted to say welcome to the RYL site and sorry that i didn't see this sooner!!
It seems your having a really hard time right now.
i know you have a good friend but i do think you really do need to try and attend this doctors appointment later in the week if you can.
i know it is really really scary - i dont doubt that for one moment but maybe it would be good if he could know some of/all of what has happened since you last saw him cos it is only that way he can help you best?
i know it can be really hard to share this kind of thing with doctors etc though.
im just concerned you get the right care,help and support when you are going through such a difficult time.
Take your friend for support or maybe even write something down for the doctor if you would prefer or rehearse the things youd like to say beforehand or something?
Sorry my ideas probably arent that good.i guess im just thinking out loud.
And regarding the medication im sorry you feel the anti-depressants arent working for you.
It may be that they will take longer to kick in as i know some can take a bit longer than a month.Or it may be you arent on the right thing for you or the dosage may need to be adjusted or something.But this type of thing should always only be dealt with in consultation with your doctor/healthcare professional [ie dont try to change dosage/come off them yourself] so again perhaps this is something you really need to mention to your doctor if you are able to at your appointment?
i just want to wish you good luck and let you know i read and am sorry things are so hard.Please let us know how things are going for you and i will be thinking of you.Please keep posting if it helps and also feel free to PM [private message] me anytime if you ever need a friend!Good luck.And well done for being brave and going to the docs and posting here!
