Stress?

[elfin]

2. A familiar answer to the stock questionnaire these days for nurses, doctors, health home aides etc.

I know I regaled my doc with my anxieties at my annual. When asked if i thought I needed therapy or meds as long as I still had insurance, I told her I would wait and see.

She said my situation was very frequent amongst her patients of all ages. She couldn't help the situation itself, but was ready to support and direct me to help, whether to a psychologist or prescription for a mild med and to call for a referral if I thought I needed more help.

She knows me well after so many years and trusts that I will be honest about my feelings.

I am so lucky to be with a trusted doc and on Medicare and so far, with a good supplemental that I can afford.
