Hey all!

I'm going to the doctor's about my depression today- I leave work early. Not as worried about this, but I'm really hoping that I can get something that will help. Still in a good mood today, but I'm tired from staying up late last night and writing my entry as well as talking with some good friends.

My cat Tama's been sick and I've been really worried- he has trouble breathing and his nose is covered in blood from him rubbing and licking it. He's VERY tired and this whole thing is giving me flashbacks of when Niccolae died- he had similar symptoms at first. Losing him would be almost more than I could stand. :-(

So today's a landmark day for me, all said. I really hope it's a turning point for me.

And I like posting fiction in my LJ. As a matter of fact, the original intent of this was as a writing journal- it expanded out of need.

Aw, I will keep your kitty in my thoughts!

And you, too. *Hugs* Good luck with the doctors! I hope they really can help. Doctors make me nervous to see for any reason but especially reasons like that. I hope you have good results to report!

I wasn't nervous until this morning. I don't like doctors- especially when they try to fix my thoughts. I'll let you know what happens. :-)

Good luck at the doctors today.

I will be keeping you and the Tama in my thoughts. I hope Tama starts to feel better soon.

Thanks, hun. I guess there's no reason to think that things won't be fine, right?

*waves to you sir*!!!

I hope Tama's okay...when you're able to-- I'd get him to the vet as soon as you're able.

Good luck at the doctor's appointment today -- we need to chat more often -- but you're always distracted!!!

I was thinking about a vet, but I'm hoping it's just a big sniffle. He can really be a Tama queen about stuff like that. Today he showed signs of being bored- climbing up on windows to look outside and stuff. If he's worse when I get home, I'll do a visit tomorrow.

Sorry I've been so distracted. Call me tomorrow and I promise I'll be there 100%.

Thinking of Tama, and sending positive thoughts that he will be ok!

Give him snuggles for me!

Good thoughts coming your way today too!

Good luck at the doctor's. Is this the first time you've sought medical help for depression?

And I'm sorry about your kitty.

This is the first time I've sought medical help when I wasn't about to die of something. I don't trust psychologists and I can be much more emotionally closed than I probably seem online. I try very hard to open up, but trusting people enough to allow them to hurt me is something I almost never do. I think that's why I'm seeing a doctor first and not a psychiatrist or psychologist. It's like "All right. What do I take so I can deal with this?"

I've been in and out of therapy since I was fourteen. I still see the benefits of therapy, but I too am not in a place right now where I'm willing to open up to a stranger. (Or even to someone I've seen before.) Which is why I get my med script from my GP.
