Phillipa, everyone here has moments when it gets to be too much-- but that's not the final word. It's a moment.
People sometimes come here when things are bad, disappointing, not working. They look for advice, support, information, new directions. They may express great bitterness, regret, hopelessness. But I'm betting that as real as those emotions are, they aren't the only ones for most people.Try not to take literally what someone writes as a sober assessment of how good/bad/helpful/harmful drugs have been. The equipoise, and insight to make those judgments is hard to achieve-- & knowing how much a drug or drugs has helped or hurt, compared to no drugs, or others-- requires perspectives that we often don't have on events that haven't happened. I don't mean to dismiss the reality of the let-downs and discouragements. They are real. All I mean is: they aren't the whole story.
So: Please, please take a deep breath-- and remember that you've decided to go forward. Your plan is a good one. Let it happen, one step at a time--
Jost
