I went to a new doctor (who my family loved and gushed about) and talked to her about my anxiety and depression. It was honestly a huge deal for me because it takes a lot to even admit I'm struggling. As the session went on, I was feeling relieved that she was taking notes and offering suggestions to me. I was actually excited to start bettering my mental health... that was until I received a print out of our meeting. Nowhere in her notes did she state anxiety or depression, instead, she told me I needed to lose weight. It would have been one thing if she talked to me about it, but she didn't. Instead, she thought it would be best to put it on record and list everything I need to do in order to shed some pounds.

I cried in my car on the drive home and I never went back.
