Phillipa, you have still not answered either my concern or suggestion! Remember, I would not mention either one if you had not repeatedly expressed concern for yourself . You have described interpersonal traumas, both as a child and as an adult. These can be helped, definitely, by intelligent medication choices, but in addition, interpersonal traumas require some form of interpersonal help to truly improve - this can be interpersonal therapy, group, CBT, DBT or something which involves other human beings. Can you point to a single poster here on Babble who has really gotten better without some type of interpersonal help, in addition to good medication choices?
You are an experienced, successful psychiatric nurse, whom I would expect to see leading the way in advocating therapy as part of a total treatment program. Why so negative and avoidant a reaction to any mention of it?
