Dear Waves,
I'm concerned about your fingers.
. . . interesting that they are a visible manifestation of your mood.

Yuck. . . . hearing that you are experiencing depression in a new form. The usual forms are bad enough as far as I know.
Your talks with your pdoc cover a great deal of ground.
My pdoc appointment goes like this:
-he asks how I am doing
-I say fine
-he asks about something general like my work
-I mumble and tell him that the medications are fine and what 'scripts I need for next time.
-Somewhere in between all of that he might tell me a story about his diet, his daughter, his wife, a place he used to work. . . . . . . .
