Hi Maddison
Welcome to Beyond Blue and thank you AND good on you for coming here and posting.
That was very positive to read where you mentioned that you got better for a while, but now it’s come back again and it sounds like it’s hitting you hard at the moment. And yes, it is torture and awful to live with.
Thank you for letting us know that your family knows about this, as that can and would be a huge bonus and benefit for you, as opposed to if they didn’t know about it, or if they did know about it, but didn’t care. I’m assuming that it would have been your parents who have arranged your visiting this lady for talks/counselling as well as getting you to a doctor for medication.
May I ask when was the last time you saw either your gp, or the lady?? If it’s been a while, could I suggest that you try and get appointments made as soon as you can. Also with your gp, it might be worth asking whether an increase of dosage in your meds might be an ok thing? Usually I can advise that without question, but as you’re 15yo, I’d be getting you to really check with your doc.
When you felt you got better last time, what do you think helped or contributed to that?
What other interests do you have? Hobbies, sports, keeping fit, music, etc??
Would love to hear back from you.
Kind regards
Neil
