Things are not well, not well at all.
I have myseterious tummy pains that come and go which prompted me to go to the doctor on Monday and not go to work. While I was there I decided to do a little housecleaning and confessed to my ever increasing depressed mood. I told her I have gained weight, drink regularly (alcohol that is) and cry almost every day.
To that she said, "Oh ok. I think you need to come back tomorrow so I can do a mental health plan."
So I did.
And she has referred me to a psychiatrist so that they can see if I am on the right medication etc, and to a psychologist because the one I have been seeing has not been that helpful, obviously.
Oh and she said I need to reduce my weight. Recommendations: healthy eating, cutting out alcohol, and exercise.
So I am now the proud owner of what they call a mental health plan, and I don't have the fondest clue of how to do the things required of me.

Hang in there, it WILL get better. It takes time and sometimes even a change (or 2) in docs (its hard to find someone you really click with). But you can do it.
Tomorrow will be better.
