I'm making an appointment to see my psychiatrist for the first time in a year or so.

What do you want to talk to her about?

Mostly that I'm kind of tired all the time.

And I feel really pessimistic and hopeless about the future, in a collective, global sense.

Even though individually I'm doing ok and am where I want to be in life, I still feel like everything's going to slip away .

And I'm not enjoying things I used to enjoy quite as much.

And it's hard to concentrate.

Yeah, I think that sounds like a good reason for you to reach out to her again.

Maybe she can help.

Yeah, maybe.

I saw some dogs playing today though.

So that was nice.

Reaching Out

Posted on December 8, 2017 by Robot Hugs
New comic! When I first moved to this city I saw my psychiatrist every week, but in the last 5 years that tapered off as I moved into a better, calmer part of my life. I feel like the emotions and challenges I needed her help with were like debris and dust, and with a calmer life, they eventually settled down, drifting to the floor. But now I feel like there's a brisk wind blowing through my mind, whipping everything up again, making the air thick and hard to breathe. So I guess it's time to reach out again. I know i'm not the only one to feel this way. The mental health professionals I know talk about how a lot of their clients seem to be struggling a lot more in this recent, hostile year. So if you need to, you should reach out too.
