crap

just back from the doctor clutching a prescription for citalopram and a diagnosis of clinical depression, I don't need it.

In some ways I feel like a fraud, in others I feel profound relief that there is a reason for all this. Doc was lovely, stressing that this is an illness in exactly the same way as asthma or measles. I REALLY don't want to go down the medication route again, not after the problems getting off Seroxat last time, and I made the point several times. However when I listed the sleep problems, tearfulness, weight loss, forgetfulness, falling out with people, starting the day badly but getting better etc etc he commented that I was displaying 'the full house' of symptoms and that if I had a broken leg I'd have it plastered until it healed, wouldn't I? So, I shall give it some thought, do some research, then make a decision
