I went to my doctor today for a check to see if my meds were working. This is not exciting news. The weird thing happened 2 nights ago.
I had a dream that a former boss told me that she recognized that I was just not myself. She offered to give me a pill from her prescription. I knew it was a drug given to depressed people. I was very thankful and I told her that it would help me until I got to my doctors appointment.
Cut to today at my actual appointment. The nurse asked me the usual do you drink/smoke pre-questions. Then she said I have 2 new questions to ask you. I told her to proceed. She asks me if I have some of the common symptoms to depression. She didn't come out and ask if I was depressed but she asked me if I had the symptoms. I knew these symptoms because I had a family member who suffered from depression.
I had to keep from laughing while she asked me the questions. I was tempted to hang my head and force tears out while saying, "Yes! I do feel hopeless and sad.". I also wondered if I have a touch of psychicness. I just had a depression dream for crying out loud. Maybe I am going to face a bout of depression if the future? Ah well, if only I could dream up some lottery numbers.
Wait a sec...that wouldn't help...I don't play the lottery.
