got a bit miffed with my head doc the other day [View all]

went in for my quarterly med check and scored myself much lower on the intake questionnaire than i normally do. i explained to him about how everything came crashing down the beginning of last month and that i'm still very much grieving over my fat cat. he asked me if the grief was related to a deeper loss and i told him that it wasn't, it was over my loss of her. well, he told me he thought the grief was deeper and longer lasting than it should be..........

i told him very firmly that grief is a very personal thing with no timetable and that i will grieve for as long as i do because she was a beloved friend and a member of my family. at least he didn't want to up my meds, which was something i was dead set against.

i also told my therapist about you guys yesterday and how much you've helped me. i know i say this a lot, but it's always worth repeating - i love and appreciate you guys very much.
