Thanks Noa and Mair. I usually don't share these struggles with others, but have found these boards to be a lifeline at times. It is the closest thing to joining a group I've even done.
After reading all your advice, I decided to call my therapist, something I rarely do. I left a voice mail and he promptly called me back. We didn't actually touch base until the next day, but I did share with him some of my concerns about continuing on. We made an agreement to really talk about it in depth at our next weekly meeting. Just doing that, being honest about my fears even though I couldn't define them, made a big difference for me.
I also have to admit that about 2 months ago I decided I didn't need any more medication. My pdoc didn't push me, but gave me options. Well, I have decided that some things are too chaotic to look at without the help of medication. I have no doubt I have clinical depression. I understand the physiology of that for the most part. I am starting back on medication. I can only tackle so many things at once.
Just wanted to say thanks for your advice. It is good to have others to talk to who understand.
