Hi all,
I have been in therapy for 3+ yrs and on meds for 2+ yrs. An assortment of bad stuff has happened in my life during this time as well. However, I just don't seem to be getting better. I mean, I have had ups and downs, but I have never really gotten to the point where I am okay for more than a few weeks. I keep switching meds, but that hasn't done enough.
Recently, someone I respect told me that I should have a consultation on my therapy to help figure out why I'm not getting better. It would be a sort of 2nd opinon. I really like my therapist and feel like she has been helpful, but maybe this is something I should consider? Has anyone out there done this? how did it go? how could I possibly bring this up w/ my T w/o sounding like I'm accusing her of doing a bad job?
Anyone have any advice? (If it matters, my diagnosis is GAD, MDD, and dysthymia.)
Thanks!
EE
