I visited my dermatologist again today, only 5 days after my last visit with her. Going to the group appointments is a lot easier than waiting for an opening or scheduling an emergency visit in any medical facility I would think, so I opted for the convenient and less personal route today.
Upon walking to the little room to get injections, she asks, “Oh how are things? Didn’t I see you last week?”.
I shamefully said yes and divulged my whereabouts starting the day after we last talked.
“Wow, sounds like some stress!”.
Yes, it was stressful but moreover I feel like I should be working.
“I get the same feeling after doing all my work, like empty right? It’s a pace that you’re not used to but it’s good for you to have a change once in awhile. It is also completely normal to feel the way you do.”
I was forced to digest this as she was shooting me up with cortisone (I couldn’t talk anyway) and some where in those minutes it started to sink in. I enjoy challenges and preferably at a steady pace everyday. Sometimes it’s less challenging but at a super fast pace, or more challenging and slow. It didn’t matter as long as there was an obstacle and it was my job to get over it.
She didn’t give me the answer, but instead gave me reassurance and a thread. The rest of the rope is up to me.
p.s. if you want the contact to my dr, just comment and i’ll give you the info. She’s a really great dermo (too)!
