Hi Rj,
I don't know your Dx's since I'm fairly new here. You mention dexedrine since 7th grade. Is that for ADHD? And you find that helpful? How long have you taken it? I take dexedrine right now and have mixed feelings about it. Yet it helps me function--so I take it. What other meds help you?
I feel a sense of fear at what feels like my core very often. It's painful and frightening. I think I'm going to try another cbt/dbt workshop to help me cope with the fear and anxiety. Have you ever tried group therapy? With a good facilitator, I've found it very helpful. (Though I would get anxious about going!)
I find it works best for me to tell my doctor as clearly as I can what I think and feel, even if it doesn't seem to make sense or seems unanswerable. Not only does it give my pdoc/T more accurate insight and information about me, I feel better having shared my feeling (or thought) and have it heard and accepted by another human being. I feel something like, "oh yeah, I have place on this planet too, just like everyone else." I don't know about you, but I crave connection--only, it scares the pants off me! Maybe you could even print out your post and bring it in?
Hope there was something helpful in all this for you,
Take care,
fb
