Lessons Learnt

Today I have learnt that I have Major Depressive Disorder with General Anxiety Disorder. I know it sounds weird, but in a way I am very happy about my doctors visit today. It turns out what I have is an actual THING. Jippie!!? It wasn't even hard for me to explain to her what I feel and when I was half way explaining she started asking very accurate questions. What makes me "happy" is the fact that the diagnosis she made is exactly what Will said he thought I had and she prescribed the same medication Will would have suggested, and I spoke to them completely seperately. That makes me feel that I wasn't imagining things and that I don't change my story from one discussion to the next. In a way that was comforting. So. Now I am on the lowest dose of (and now I have to get up and go get the freakin' box because I forgot the name!!) Lexapro. In two weeks time I have to go back for bloodwork to see how its absorption (sp...?) is working out and also to talk about how I feel on it, then she'll decide to adjust the dose or not. Then she'll also give me names of therapists because of course the drugs works beter in conjunction with therapy. I told her I'm not fond of the idea of therapy because of the language thing, but I guess I'll give it a try. In the mean time she suggested I write. I don't have time to keep a journal and blog, so you guys are just going to have to hang in there with me, because this is going to be "Lexa-Log" as well as my blog. So there.
