Didn't do full girl drag for the doctor's appointment, but I did wear eyeshadow (Shiro Cosmetics, Ever In Your Favor, which looked pretty good on but isn't a color I love). I need to order some more, it's oddly confidence-building just to have a little glimmer there. And it helps that they all have cool fannish names.
As usual, I got to my pdoc's office ludicrously early. When I went to check in, I was told that my doctor wasn't there. They were switching me to someone else. "He's a telemed doctor", the receptionist said, without explanation.
What it meant was, I talked to him over the internet on a computer in a back office with an assistant of some sort monitoring the tech aspect. Which wasn't especially offputting for me, but having it sprung on me with out warning was a little jarring. For someone who wasn't at home with computers I think it would have been very upsetting. Not that I wasn't upset - an abrupt change of doctors is a big shock and having to try and re-explain everything when I thought I'd be dealing with someone familiar. He put me back on the lithium, said I should try to get more sun, and wants to see me again in two weeks.
I am so, so tired. It's a struggle to get care and I am in so far over my head I can't see the surface anymore. I can't do this alone and there just... isn't anyone. You guys, my net-friends, you're the only support system I have.
