Thank you. My psychiatrist found out I've been depressed lately because of everything when my mom mentioned it during her appointment yesterday. I didn't think I needed seen because this situation of mine is temporary. The doctor immediately scheduled an appointment for right then. He upped my antidepressants and prescribed a medicine that should hopefully help with the nerve pain. I ended up crying like a baby because I didn't realize how bad I've been emotionally. The nerve pain medicine should hopefully help me sleep as well. I've barely been sleeping because of my leg.
I'm so glad you have fantastic support around you. Pain is something I'm forever telling the folks I care for to not put up with, even if you feel it's OK just keep up with the pain relief. You might think everything is "normal" without even realising how bad things have gotten.
Thank you. I definitely didn't realize how bad shit is until my appointment.
