Why I do believe I may have actually been diagnosed with Depression. Yay! And I do sincerely mean that 'yay.' I like having actual, concrete thing wrong as opposed to just wondering. the doctor I spoke with was apparently not the drug giving kind so I have a referral to have a medication evaluation with a different doctor. To be clear, the doctor today didn't come right out and proclaim the diagnosis but I feel better all the same. She wrote up a little treatment plan for ma and told me that she thinks our relationship will be short term, as in over in 6 months or less. I'm ambivalent about the length of time. At the moment I can't say whether it's a good or bad thing. Though I guess it's more in the good column that she doesn't see me having a long term need for therapy.
