> I'm sure you're thinking that medication might be helpful, but as I've mentioned before, I see no reason for it. My life is crappy and I should experience it as such. Sugar-coated crap is still crap. I'm not interested in altering my perception so that I can find my situation acceptable. It's not.

Magic,
I remember feeling this way too. But when the meds started working I didn't suddenly feel like my life was wonderful now. If anything I was even more aware of how bad it was. What changed was that I could suddenly see ways to make it better. Ways that I would have sworn did not exist a few weeks before. Other people say that they have gotten the same benefit from the right therapist. I have no idea how you know whether you've got the right therapist but I bet other posters here will.

Jane
