+Already January and a new year again. Feels like it wasn’t so long ago I turned
+18 and now it’s less than 2 months until I’m 19. Time sure seems to pass so fast
+when you’re looking the other way.
+
+Anyway. Back in November or December my mother called the health care center
+right next door because she was tired of me being unable to sleep and being
+depressed all the time. In late December I got a letter saying I had an
+appointment with a doctor in the 8th of January.
+
+The doctor I met with was rather nice. Female. She seemed like the kind of
+person that I would have an easier time to talk to than usual. We talked for a
+bit about how I felt and what was going on, and she was a bit annoyed that the
+people my mother had talked to only had scheduled half an hour.
+
+I don’t remember the majority of my past. I’ve suppressed most of my life
+really. Due to that I can’t really give any good answers for how long I’ve felt
+depressed and been unable to sleep properly, and so she said that since I don’t
+know clearly when it started that she couldn’t really call it a ‘normal
+depression’ right away, so she was going to talk to the psych people not too far
+from here and get me an appointment with someone there so that they can figure
+out for sure. For now though I got a prescription for cipralex 5mg for my
+depression and for atarax both due to the cipralex and to see if it makes it
+easier for me to fall asleep.
+
+In two weeks, I think, we’re going to talk again about how it’s been going, and
+she was going to try to get a counselor contact at the health care center for
+now since the waiting lists at the psychiatric ward tends to be really long.
+
+I’m also going to have to move to my sister soon, because the person my mother
+is renting her apartment from is breaking up with whoever and going to move back
+into it, so she’s going to move back to some room she used to rent couple of
+years ago and I’ll have to share a room with my 6 year old niece for a couple of
+month. She even got a rather good offer for an apartment but she doesn’t want to
+take it because she’s cheap.
+
+I would do almost anything to get my own place to live, or at least to be able
+to share place with someone else, but alas I have no choices...
