> I think you ought to talk to whoever prescribed the Prozac to you. I started SI and did it most frequently when I was on Luvox. While Risperdal seems to help me stop SI.
Yeah. It was my GP and I’m supposed to see her next week, and she was making noises about letting me cut down my dose, so that might help. Frankly I want to get off the stuff as soon as possible.
> If Prozac helps, maybe you don't need to stop it, maybe you just need to add something to offset the effects of it.
That would be a good alternative.
> This is going to sound kind of silly, because I know you're probably relieved. But I'm sorry nobody noticed your expression of pain. And I'm sorry your husband's reaction was so much like my husband's reaction.Thanks for saying that. It’s a strange set of feelings, isn’t it?
> I *know* SI never has the intended effect of getting people to listen. I know it just makes the people in my life angry. But I sure wish there was something that was able to convey what I need to convey, and I wish that for you too.
Yeah. I guess the problem is that words have failed to do it so far. I’ve tried lots of different words but they haven’t worked.
> (Was your therapist late? Or did he miss your appointment completely. Mine hasn't actually missed an appointment yet, and when he doublebooked once, it was the other client he asked to come back later, but he's late all the time.)
He’d actually completely forgotten about it. He’d forgotten to write it in his diary. So when I got there, the receptionist phoned him at home and he arrived about half an hour later. And this was the session after the one in which we talked about how upset I was that he forgot about my rape ‘anniversary’. So his forgetfulness is a bit of an issue for me right now. In fact, when we got to the end of our session last week neither of us had a pen, so he couldn’t write my next appointment in his diary AGAIN. I’m supposed to see him the day after tomorrow. I wonder if he will forget to show up…
I said I would phone him to remind him, and he said it wouldn’t be necessary. And I said I might phone anyway. But I’ve decided not to. I’ve decided I’ll give him this chance to get it right without my reminding him. And if he forgets, I will ask him to take me to supervision with him (tee hee).
