Went to Dr today!

Hi everyone,

I went to the doctor today for the first time. It was great, it felt incredible to get all that off my chest. Honestly I fell like a million bucks right now. He does want me to make an appointment with a PCP he referred so I can get on some meds which I guess I am OK with.
It was comforting to be reassured that while there is something wrong with me I am definitely not crazy or anything like that. The guy was super nice and very understanding. I go back next Thursady morning and I am looking forward to continuing with this. He told me that he will teach me some techniques to help me and I am so looking forward to getting my life back.

Thanks so much and take care,
Rob

What I actually thought was going to be an appointment with a PCP is actually going to be an appointment with a psychiatrist, which would be for meds. Really don't want to go that route but I will.
The day has been SO MUCH better today. I am watching the Mets-Cardinals game and I have to say that it is my only source of uneasiness right now.

Take care,
Rob

Hi Rob,

I went to my first appt this week too. I am also feeling really hopeful. It's so inspiring to feel like there is help and options out there.
