Usually, this wouldn't be monumental for anybody, but it is for me. I only go to the Dr. for emergencies. It's been sometime since I've been to the clinic. My insurance runs up on the 28th of this month, and I've felt like I've needed to see the Dr. for, well, quite awhile now. There isn't anything physically wrong with me, I think. For the past year or so, I've been so tired. I feel run down and old. I have no motivation. I thought, shit I really need to kick this laziness bug in the ass. I literally can't function without 8 hours of sleep, and if I can, I sleep all day and I still don't feel rested. I have forgotten what it feels like to have that feeling. More so, I've become really apathetic. I have no drive, no passion...nothing. I quit school. I work a job that's leading me nowhere. I'm not happy with my life, but I can't find that switch in me that will drive me to where I want to be. My family swears I'm depressed. I think being depressed is wayyyyy overly prescribed. It's normal to not be happy all the time, and I accept that. It's just, well, I really don't feel anything. I'm not okay with that. Part of me thinks it's my atmosphere. Ever since I quit the 4 yr school and moved back home, I haven't been the same. So yes, I made a Dr. appointment. I'm not even sure what I should say. I feel like an idiot. It's just a family physician, not mine though. I don't have one, because I never go to the Dr. I don't want to come in soundling like a whiny bitch that just wants to be medicated, but I sort of do. I use to swear against pharmacuticals. Right now, I just want to feel like the old me. I'm only going on 22, yet my 70 yr old grandma has more get up and go than me. I even started drinking coffee and taking no-dos hoping I would energize, despite not being the healthiest. No f'ing effect whatsoever. Still, I don't know what to tell the Dr. I'm nervous. I don't know how to tell people this stuff, ya know, in real life. I don't want to sound dramatic. Blah.
hmm well it seems like you are having a rough time but I think making the doctors appointment was moving in the right direction. The only thing you have to do now is be completely honest with the doctor and tell them how you've been feeling and then they can have you evaluated and see what the prognosis is and if there is a treatment. Good luck!
good luck. i know how you feel. i'm perpetually exhausted. i can sleep ALL DAY if people would let me. it's terrible.
3 words!! LEX-A-PRO Knock you for a fuckin loop. I havenet felt this good in 6 months. I'm normal again.
Yeah, I totally skipped out on the doc. I was having a pity me moment. I don't need nothin to help myself...
Frieden, go back to the clinic. Tell the doc everything you just told us. Write down any questions you may have as soon as you think of them, so you wont blank out in the office. Its sometimes a breath of fresh air to talk to someone objective.
