I'd like to tell them why I came here in the first place.
Because I didn't have a clue what was going on with me.
Because I was given meds without a clue of what they were supposed to do - or that if one didn't work it wasn't hopeless - or that it might take more than one at a time to work - and that it could be trial and error and it could take a long time.
Because my shrink told me that the best treatment is meds *and* therapy - but not what therapy was supposed to do.
Because I had never been to therapy before and I didn't have a clue why I was there and what I was supposed to talk about.
So - I did what I knew how to do - search on the internet.
And I found answers to most of those questions here at babble - and I am still finding answers.
And along the way I met some of the nicest people I've ever met.
