Doctor Appointment

When I saw my psychiatrist yesterday I sat in a regular office chair. It's not like the movies where you lay on a modern sofa while the doctor takes notes on a legal pad. He doesn't say uh huh uh huh or anything. He types everything I say on his computer. Sometimes I want to talk really fast to see if he can keep up. Not really.

He changed one of my meds which I started last night. I'm weaning myself off another one. He suggested electric shock treatment which I declined. The new med he started me on is notorious for weight gain. He even said it to me. Hellllooo... I don't need to gain any more weight. But I don't want the brain shocks either. I guess I'll be gaining some weight.

I'm sorry to hear that things are so difficult right now. I always have you in my thoughts regardless if I come and see you often. Praying that the new meds help and do NOT cause weight gain. I see you said notorious for weight gain... not guaranteed. I'm still your cheerleader... God bless you and Mr. Skittles... Love you gal.

I hope you find health and happiness in the new year. I was thinking of you yesterday when I looked at some old Heads or Tails posts. It was challenging and fun to write stuff on pretty random topics, and some of 'em turned out pretty good, so I just wanted to thank you for undertaking the task for as long as you did.
