I Saw My Doctor Today

Kirstenmumof3 wrote: Given the stress of everything that is going on with Spencer, I asked my doctor to increase the dose of my anti-depressant. I just don't feel like myself and I'm having a lot of intrusive thoughts. I don't want to get up, I don't want to get dressed, I don't have any energy at all and I'm avoiding the kids by playing games on the computer. My house is a mess and I'm close to tears all the time. I finally told my best friend how I was feeling and she was relieved that at least I was talking about it. Little by little the strength that I had is no longer there and I'm scared. I have promised my doctor if things do not improve by the weekend that I will go to the ER and have myself admitted.
