In reply to UGH: Therapist Telling Me to Go On Meds, posted by honeybee on March 8, 2006, at 15:31:58
Forgive me if I go on and on, or if I get a bit lost. I am having a stressful time. Me, I take regular psych. meds. But, everyone is different ya know. If you are not having dangerous mood swings, and you feel you can deal with a panic attack here and there...well ya know you gotta find what is best for you and sometimes that takes time. Sometimes, alternative therapy works great for some folks. Maybe you should look into finding a therapist that will support alternative treatments to fit your current goals? I guess that is the word I am trying to think of. You can find practitioners that specialize both in alternative and traditional medicine. I had a therapist over a year ago who was very much into alternative treatments. And she was the first I had in this state. I don't think any one thing is for anybody, and sometimes a combination is the key. I wouldn't turn my back on anything till you find what works the best for you. But, so long as you are ok, then you probably know your body best. There are some folks who are not doing so well, that do not at certain times have the ability to make decisions. You are not one of those individuals. Unfortunately, I have been one of those individuals at times so I have to leave it up to the doctor. I really hope you find a great alternative team and approach to meet your needs. If it works, please share it with us.
Well wishes to you
