Getting a little frustrating….

We had to order a couple of birth certificates and marriage license for several reasons. Many want the originals, but can’t return it for weeks or months at a time. Also, our social worker called and requested I get a complete psychological evaluation done to offically diagnois the seasonal affective disorder so it is documented for our dossier. It is a little frustrating because I discussed this in detail in writing and in our first meeting, that was uncomfortable enough. Then she asked me how many times have I called Jeremy to come home from work because I could not get out of bed. I said, never. Then she asked Jeremy the same question. He had the same answer. Now I have to get an evaluation….. I am sure there is a reason and this is all apart of the process, but I feel at this point like I admitted to being a criminal or an alcoholic and I need to prove I won’t do it again. I can’t promise not to get depressed again! I can promise I will try whatever it takes to not to get too deep in depression, just like I do all every day of every year.
My social worker’s father struggles terribly with S.A.D. She does not think I am managing it as well as I say I am or as well as Jeremy says I am.
