Hi all, I am new to this bb and am finally going to the dr today. I am writing a list of things that I've been feeling down because I'm pretty sure that I'll have difficulty speaking. Typing is always so much easier.
I'm just having difficulty trying to put my feelings into words. I am reseraching on depression but don't want to say "Oh yea, maybe I'm feeling that TOO!" For those of you who have gone to the doctors how did you guys do it?!?
I am going to the appointment by myself. I don't want to tell dh, I know we shouldn't have secrets but don't feel comfortale telling him. He feels that when I get a cold it's because it's in my head. My asthma is all in my head. Also, we don't plan on getting divorced ever, haven't even discussed it but if we did, I KNOW he and his family (especially them) would use this against me.
I also don't feel comfortable telling my parents. Just don't want them there. I told my sister, but she's in Florida (I'm on MD.) My best friend is at work, and I got the appoitnemnt within one day so she couldn't take off.
Just looking for some support before I head out.
TIA
Kristin

Welcome to the board,
I read your post too late to have suggestions for you regarding what to do and say at the appointment.
