Okay, GP was absolutely lovely! She gave me a script for a medication to help me quit smoking, directed me to reduce my coffee intake and eat more (even just grazing) during the day, and if none of that helps then we’ll look at the anti-sad I’m on.
I think I just needed someone in that profession to tell me what I already knew, but I’m very happy that she offered the medication for quitting smoking. It’ll free up money for therapy. I’m self-aware but that doesn’t help if I don’t ask for it, so I’m definitely much more confident.
I hear ya. It’s so much stress to front up to the GP and it’s such a relief to be listened to and helped. So glad you got some practical steps. You got this

I’m tired but hopeful.

so many happy hugs
you can do this :)
That’s great to hear. I didn’t even know there was medication that could help with smoking, aside from nicotine of course
Glad to hear you had a great experience :)
