> You sound like you have been through alot. Are you on any medications? If you are this could be part of your problem. Have you ever read the book "Your drug may be your problem?" It is by Dr. Peter Breggin. It is an awesome book. A must read for anyone thinking about medication or already on medication. Neuroleptics and other psychiatric medication can make the problems that you had worse than before meds. We often have the misconception that these psychiatric drugs are curealls. This is not the case at all. Please read this. It is a must. Mama Bear
Thanks for the book recommendation. I have been trying to find the right pdoc this week and am still looking. I do believe I'm going to have to have medication. I've been trying a few "natural" remedies - everything from flax oil tablets to exercising. They help, but when I get really down or anxious I can't get motivated to exercise so knowing I need to do it isn't much help!
This book may help with what possible meds I might need (or don't).
Thanks again.
