I'm not sure what ERP is.
As soon as there is a disagreement, slight invalidation, irritation, sexual disinterest on either part...
It becomes background noise in all further interractions and it turns me into an obsequious approval seeker rather than a self-realized 42-year old man, and then the relationship slides downhill from there. Serious doubt and criticism also cloud out other considerations. I cannot sleep next to him.
My last therapist was all "trust your feelings they are telling you that you aren't getting something from the relationship"
My new therapist is like "don't trust your instincts they are skewed from trauma." The latter prompts me to fiddle with my meds to stop the downward spiral and save the relationship.
right now I am on 20 mgs Celexa, 200 mgs Lamictal, and microdoses of Klonopin. Occasional ritalin but I am finding it increases my obsessional thinking and hypervigilance when I'm in his presence. Small doses of Latuda and/or seroquel help but also dull out a lot of other things.
Thanks
