Thank you both so much for your supportive responses. I still keep waffling on this...called him to make a "phone appt" purely out of guilt! Maybe I will try to get down to his office instead of blabbering away on the phone and becoming frustrated and pissed at what seems to be a more "psychodynamic" approach, as fallsfall put it.
I once had cognitive therapy when I was younger, and it was good at the time. I'm not totally sure that that is the route for me though. What really occurs to me is that there is no type of therapy that can work unless one WANTS it to work. (Of course my doc's take on this is that one has to figure out WHY said person doesn't want it to work...and the answer always is "I don't know) And I am so disillusioned and disenchanted thatI have given up. I can't deal with the ups and downs anymore. A frontal lobotmy might be nice, because meds don't seem to be making a significant dent..... ha ha ha. Maybe meds can't make a significant dent unless you want them to either...I don't know.
But I thank you both for your posts and I will be reading them over and over again.
I feel better having read them.Diane
