Mind you, the GP was a bit stupid...

ailbheI got my antidepressant prescription, same one I always use these last 7 years. But I asked for something for anxiety, and he gave me sleeping pills. I explained that I didn't need sleep aids but did need something to take for anxiety, and he said that sleeping more would reduce my anxiety. Which might be true, but sleeping pills, breastfed babies, mothers who don't wake up for hours, etc... not so hot. Also, may cause drowsiness, do not drive or operate heavy machinery for 24 hours after taking, when I have three children to care for? perhaps not.
He also said that I needn't worry about PMS because I couldn't be having any menstrual symptoms while my baby was so young.
Uhuh.
However, the brain doctor was fabulous and lovely and I am possibly going to get long-term therapy to fix me proper, rather than the repeating series of bandaids and bit by bit sticky-taping I've been doing for years. This is so awesome I feel like I'm on holiday.
