It's hard to accept that they'll be forever- me too, But I think that for most of us, therapy itself is the most powerful influence in our lives. For lots of us, that will be a lot of years- but I think it's OK to take the medications along with the therapy, You-and I- never know- but therapy may help us heal enough that we won't need medication forever. We don't know, but I hope so. I guess the main thing to do is not to think of the need for medication as a personal failure. I must say that that thought doesn't come naturally, but I do think that seeking therapy, and accepting medication, as needed, are both acts of immense courage for us all. I think that we can count on that, as we go day to day.
