I am going to see my physical doc today. To be honest I am super nervous. I have been having allot of problems with my BGL, and my therapist. Hopefully he can give me a referral to a better therapist. I am just worried about really talking to him, because he is not the nicest doctor in the world. I know that I should not be so freaked out about it, but I am seriously panicking and freaking out about telling him anything. I am worried about saying anything about the thoughts that have been going through my head because I fear that he will tell me to get checked in. Advise please

I know you dont want to go to the hospital, who does? but i do think it would be wise to discuss your feelings with your doctor. they may not send you to the hospital, they may just adjust your meds. but you do need to take care of yourself, maybe some of the physical stuff will get a bit better if your mental status is better, ya know? i hope all goes well!  marisa :)

Sometimes even a pdoc will not tell you straight out that you need hospitalization but only you know how you truly feel and the meds we are given take time to kick in, so even after your appt if you still feel as down as you have been I would consider going to the hospital. Best of luck and please keep us posted, We are concerned for you.

I am sorry I just re-read your post and realized it wasnt your pdoc but either way you should always feel comfortable with any dr treating you. I think you should consider switching to a new dr that you are more at ease with and you can be more open with. It is so important to be able to talk about anything with your drs. Once again keep us posted of your outcome.

I'm worried too. I have a eye appointment in Texad time at 12:30 and the past five days have been horrible. I am stuck to the bed and my brother had to literally drag me up. I couldn't make the one last week. I don't know when I have been so depressed. I go into my closets and nothing fits. I am frantic and my brother said," Lets go to Macys," Oh sure this was one of those five days and the last thing I wanted to do. I shop a lot of things from QVC and love the Qacker clothes , not the ones with any bling. I ordered so much stuff it had to go on 2 different orders. I do not eat enough to keep a bird alive. I almost passed out because I had gained 12 pounds in two weeks. Now there I stand on the scale wanting to pick it up and have it break into tiny pounds but it just laughed at me. Told me that it wasn;t his fault I had a big rear. I wore a size ten until I started this medication. I haven't been this large and I am literally flying off the wall. I have tons of winter clothes, I just don't have any to wear now and where we are in Texas, I think I put a jacket on twice. We are still in the 100 degrees. I am in the middle of the chart. Well it's time to go and tell Ginky I will answer her email when I get back. Take care friend. I truly from my heart hope only the very best for you. My family knows what Bipolar but they are just too lazy to ever cut me any slack. So I decided to stay up here in SA. We don't have so many diva's up here.So many questions I need to ask my friends when we get back. Hugs, Begonia Dean |

I am sorry about your lungs, you are starting to sound like me. Everytime I go to the dr I get bad news about one thing or another. Makes me just want to stay home and never go to another dr. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you need to do to with your lungs.
