I had a bit of a melt down last week and my friend had to hold me to help calm me down. Shes promised shell help me, go to the doctors with me etc.

But im freaking out about making a doctors appointment because I dont want to be labelled nor take tablets thatll make me a zombie....Im scared.

Plus im looking at starting a family next year (on my own through Sperm donor) so it wont be in my favour.

I know I need support, I mean I was so upset and angry that I dug my nails into my hand and caused two cuts....I just dont want to loose her; our friendship nor let the friendship be a strain because of it all.

what can I do or whats your advice?

I am so sorry to hear that you had a melt down however that is so awesome that you have a freind willing to help you and support you. Sometimes meds aren't needed and only talk therapy with a therapist helps. A therapist would let you know this information or your primary care provider could answer that question also. If meds are needed there are lots of them available and if they do make you feel odd like a zombie or another feeling that means that isn't the correct med/dose and that your provider would need to change the dosage or the med to a different one which you would just work with your doctor on this.

Maybe your friend could help you call and make the appointment.
