@lisalucier so I went to my doctor today. I called her yesterday and she told me I can come. My visit tool less than 5 minutes. I just asked for the prescription, there were no space to discuss anything, like the problems I have with withdrawal symptoms. By the way, is it common that her daughter is there with her? She is around 10 or 11 I guess. I mean literary sitting there and listening to her discussions with the patients? For me gt was not possible to open up and talk about what I should talk to her. I just asked for my prescription and left.

My wife knows about the difficulties I've experiencing but nobody else knows. I didn't want to bother anybody. It's always harder and harder for me to open up to somebody. It is not good, I know.
Hopefully, there symptoms will stop now when I have my medicine.

@theotherone [Jan] this is absolutely not usual in my experience. If the Dr's daughter was there, the Dr. should have asked you if it was okay for daughter to be there. Only two instances in my experience. In Jan 1999 I was in hospital for hysterectomy, and Dr came in on Sunday morning to check on me. He brought his little daughter as it was his day off, but it was okay. The other time I was seeing my old PvP, he had a high school student following him around for a few days. He escorted him out as we were going to talk about my depression, but I asked the young man to return, because he should not gloss over that people do get depressed.
