I read the whole thing too. :) And really appreciated you writing it. I also get really scared of taking medications. I get worried that the antidepressant that I've been taking for almost two years which has only helped me is now *causing* this new bout of depression and the idea floats through my mind to stop taking it without telling my pdoc. I'm trying to keep in mind that the last time I stopped (and my pdoc agreed I could) I got much worse, so I keep taking it. But I'm scared to death the pdoc will prescribe another medication when I see her next, and that will mean I'm *really* crazy. Although I don't think that of anyone else who takes multiple medications, just myself.
So, I know where you're coming from. I think Lindenbluete had really good advice about how to ground yourself a little from the anxiety. Can you talk to your T about how you've been feeling? Would your husband be supportive? The more support you can get the better, so try to tell at least one other person IRL how you've been feeling so you can get some support. But make sure you trust them to be supportive. You don't need to add on any hurt.
Good luck Racer. Keep us posted.
