My meds aren't kicking in as usual and I work as a teacher. I was sick with a violent stomach bug last Friday and Satuday and the depression just tended to get worse since. I wish i could make an appointment to see a doctor to get a referral but I don't know how to do that my regular doc is a "first in best dressed" type of service. ANyway, the bell has gone, I'll check this later today. So sad! need to perk myself up for year 2. </P> <P>Rhys</P> Wed, 22 May 2013 23:03:07 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/will-the-clouds-ever-go-away-in-my-head/m-p/44038#M7044 rhysiee 2013-05-22T23:03:07Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/will-the-clouds-ever-go-away-in-my-head/m-p/44039#M7045 <P>Hi Rhys,</P> <P>Just wanted to check in to see how things are travelling for you after your post a few days ago? It sounds like things have been getting harder for you lately, and it is wise that you are keen to get on top of thing with a visit to your GP. Can you get an appointment at this clinic? Or a doctors' certificate if you need to take a day off work to wait for a consultation?&nbsp;</P> <P>If you would like information about other doctors or support services in your local area, please don't hesitate to call our Support Line on 1300 22 46 36.&nbsp;</P> <P>We hope things are going okay for you and hope you stay in touch with us on the forum.</P> <P>With best wishes</P> <P>beyondblue team&nbsp;</P> Sun, 26 May 2013 09:27:25 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/will-the-clouds-ever-go-away-in-my-head/m-p/44039#M7045 Ruth_M 2013-05-26T09:27:25Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/will-the-clouds-ever-go-away-in-my-head/m-p/44040#M7046 <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>dear Rhys, Year 2, that's a handful, especially if you are on the verge of falling into depression again.</P> <P>Doctor's 'first in best dressed', are we just talking about money here, sure we all need this, but hang on he/she a person to care for their regular patients for many types of illness's, it shouldn't be about paying for his next holiday, that's OK really, but they have a duty to look after sick people.</P> <P>When I was talking to my doctor I ask him about the proportion of depressed patients he sees, and he said ' a hell of a lot'.</P> <P>It sounds as though your medication needs to be revised, and I wonder whether you have started to take them again, because 'my meds aren't kicking in as usual'.</P> <P>I would do as what the Mods. have suggested to you, and hope that you can get back to us.
