> Wow. This is a turn-around. I'm so pleased to hear that a med change-- which you yourself asked for, and argued for, and convinced your pdoc was worth trying-- has proved so effective.
yep. feeling pretty proud of this myself. :) For a while there I was worried that I'd have to do some more intensive treatment. I'm glad that things are looking better for me.

> Now maybe you'll have the space and time to locate and work on the issues that are at the core, with your T, and over time, perhaps even reduce the meds. Not that there's anything wrong with meds--you'll never hear me implying that, cause I don't believe it. If they work--that is so great. The only sad thing is when they don't.
>I have a lot of problems trying to think of what I want to be when I grow up. I know what I'm good at, I know what I like to do, the idea of who I'd like to be. I'm just not sure that I'm trained or qualified to do that. I'm not sure whether there are jobs in this area for people like me. That's one of the core issues. Another one is likely to be 'male transference' issues. We've touched on that from time to time. the revulsion and terror of making myself vulnerable to a man, whether he's my boss, my friend, or my T/pdoc. It's tough.
I've noticed that since things are doing better I've been needing less klonopin, so that's something. I will probably need the AD for a while, that's for sure. I've been in and out of depression since January? before January? 2006, and so I'll probably need long-term treatment with that one...
