Phillipa,
I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I'm having a hard time too. I was feeling great-- got my CES-D from the 50's down to the teens.The medication is helping a lot. I have been able to get my work done, and I have been socializing a lot too. My appetite returned, and I have been sleeping better too.
Until the last few weeks. That's when my T started digging around in my psyche. Things are getting ugly. I am making some connections between my past and my present and my future, and it seems like I can no longer deny that it happened, and that it's a part of me.
Therapy is stirring up all kinds of uncomfortable and devastating feelings and memories. I honestly don't think I would be able to tolerate it if I weren't stable on medication. My pdoc, who is really excellent, has told me several times that the REAL work goes on in therapy; that medication helps make life and therapy tolerable until I learn what is making me sick.
So, I guess I haven't been on this board much lately, because I've been busy doing my work, and freaking out about therapy...
hmm
Hope you all get some relief, and have the presence of mind to document it when you're feeling it. Our memories only remember the bad times when we're down. Enjoy the views at the top of the rollercoaster. Might as well, right?-ll
