Loneliness: Why am I depressed?

Hi Ginger. Thanks for contacting me. Your story seems like mine. The prescribing psychiatrist is not approachable. I have had zoom meetings with her for 2 years now and I don't think we will ever be in the same room together again. She is swamped with patients. Not too many psychiatrists anymore with the approval of gp doctors and psychologists to prescribe psychotropic medications. As this day goes on I feel a tad better. Yes, I am on the same dose. I have an appt with a new psychiatrist here, but I have waited one month and have 2 more weeks to wait before my 1st appt.

@lindasmith1222 I am happy to read you are feeling better as the day has gone on. Those two weeks will fly by quicker than you think, I bet. So, now you are in a new state, there are many things to discover. If you are near a town, there are new roads to learn, new shops to find out about, community events you might be interested in, new landscapes to uncover [and find a few favorites!], etc. Is there a newspaper to subscribe to, to keep you in the loop of information?
Something that has always helped me, is to write it out. Write what is your biggest obstacle, write a letter to it, and "talk it out". Do you think that might be a benefit to you?
