    I love how supportive and defensive Jeff is of your mental health it’s very sweet. Not sure if Ottawa has one but smith falls has a mental health clinic where I get amazing free counselling and help so that might be a good channel to look into. If you guys want something different and fun to do while you are off rib fest is in Perth this weekend 😊 hope your feeling better

    I’ve worked In Doctors offices and emergency rooms and I’ve never ever heard of a doctor not dealing with stress and anxiety. That blew me away. Maybe she was new and didn’t get it. Some people aren’t aware. Trying to be nice, but Krazy! I’m a massive plant hoarder, I’ve got well over 100. It’s all about the drainage, not overwatering and lighting; your plants are gorgeous and hope you have a great week and enjoy your reading.

It really makes me so happy and thankful for the people who love and support those struggling with mental health issues. It may seem over the top to some for me to say this but its true . People like your husband save lives. Period. You both are truly an inspiration to me. Xoxoxox Also. Travis the haunted troll is everything.

    @chaptermalliumpkin5285 5 лет назад

    I'm so sorry you had to go through that with the medical office. I think it's like that all over when it comes to mental health. From my experience, mental health takes the back burner in my state compared to other medical concerns like physical injuries. You basically end up fighting tooth and nail to get results and see the people who can help you. And nine times out of ten, when you find really amazing people in that field who know what they're doing, they end up leaving for better positions or locations. But hearing Geoff get so worked up, absolutely precious and he's is so amazingly supportive of you. ❤️ It warms the heart!

    As a person who suffers from mental health issues myself, I am truly sorry you were overlooked at the doctor's office as you were. It's sad that health professionals don't see mental health as a real illness, and dismiss us. No wonder people are so scared to get the help they need! This is truly upsetting and there has to be way to get these doctor's to take mental health problems seriously!

    I went to the doctor recently to ask for a recommendation on a counselor. My doctor (first time I have ever been to her office by the way) asked me what symptoms I was experiencing. I said “depression and anxiety” and she asked me to elaborate because it was “not possible to be experiencing both at the same time.” The older I get the less faith I have. Very frustrating. And I also had to pay 45 dollars for the visit 🤷‍♀️

I hope that you were/are still able to get your referrals to try and work on getting through this. I know anxiety can be awful to deal with and I know anxiety can make depression so much worse. Hopefully the break from work will help and maybe doing some fun self care activities will benefit you as well. :)

    That response to you asking for help is A BS people problem. They should have responded with concern and even if they aren't the ones to provide what you need their humanness should have kicked in and figured it out together. That's a facility that provides care and to tell you they can't help in anyway is a disconnect response. Care requires feelings. Chin up, get what you need. You have our support!!!✌☀
