It's not like he's argued with me about it or dismissed my impressions, really; it's just that in spite of what I'm going through now my answers to the depression index are still not that bad compared to a depressive episode... although I do think that it's difficult for me to really convey how distressing it is, I also have to agree that overall I am pretty mentally healthy now.

The things that are upsetting me are all completely legitimate sources of stress, but I'm doing the correct things to deal with them and have gotten pretty good at self-correcting my emotional state so that I don't really need a psychologist's care, even if I do still want my medication.

Unfortunately none of that means that I wouldn't like something to alleviate my (completely understandable) emotional reactions to things... I just know there's not really anything more a psychologist can tell me about it. He doesn't have any further insights than I do at this point, and I am practiced at self-soothing and self-monitoring.

Also, of course, I know that feeling low energy and icky is better than I usually feel in the wintertime, but I mean, it's hard to feel grateful when you've been feeling fatigued and bleh for four months.
