"Do you think about self harm?"

"Just the normal amount "

"The normal amount is zero."

"Oh..."

My doctor told me the best way to heal my back was to take a few weeks off work. She didn't understand why I was laughing my ass off, till I reminded her that most people don't get paid time off. Doctors kinda live on the moon in terms of what the rest of us can get

At 70 i thought ... "Hey! I may last till 80!"

At 71 i, i think "oh hell i may have to last till I'm 80"

If you don’t have some anxiety, I’m pretty sure you’re dead inside.

He's the one they call Dr. Gaslight He's the one that makes ya feel uptight

Doc's lying. We all do, some just don't linger on them.

Depression and feeling sad over sad things aren't the same thing. A lot of people who experience depression may not realize that their feelings go beyond just feeling blue sometimes. Really sounds like the doctor is right to raise this as a potential issue.

' "Uncontrollable" feelings of anxiety or depression' isn't normal.

Everyone has had anxiety and/or been depressed before. It's when it doesn't go away shortly after feeling it that it is a real problem.

She wouldn't admit it anyway

Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up

The doctor was lying

The doctor likely has a private practice, so without the heinous pressure of working in a hospital and all the money that comes from being part of the medical industrial complex, its no wonder the doctor isn't depressed.

"oh doc, liar liar pants on fire"

She was correct. There are some billionaires that have different mental health issues, but not those.

And it was a lie

That's when I tell him I'm mostly just anxious about my prostate and make him check. What a tool

Anxiety is useful for survival.

Terminally online people do tho

The doctor gave you or insurance a $300 bill for the visit. Why would they be depressed?

Sorry but not a good doctor if they shame you like that.

That doctor lied.

It may not be every person every second of every day, but it is way too common to pretend that "doesn't everyone" isn't accurate enough
