> LL, I agree with what those other guys said.
> If you MUST go off meds, can you make it like a riduculously insanely SLOW SLOW taper????
> Sorta fool yourself that you comming off them, and in fact you ARE, but very very very slowly?that's a very sound idea. I think that T and pdoc would agree with you. Llurp just wants to jump in headfirst (i.e. nosedive)
> I think you need to recognize...oh ya...here they come....NICEYS!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccckkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!
echo- No no no no no!
> But recognize that you CAN and have in the past gotten thru some very challenging stuff.
> Moving, switching T's, hubby troubles, new info bout your history etc etc. You have been absolutely BOMBARDED (apparently this is my word of the day...?!) with STUFF, and SURVIVED.aw shucks
> You are such a good client. Eating well, drinking your teas, doing all the things you need to get well and stay safe. YOU LLurpy have done these things!!!! This is true!
I'm drinking osmanthus oolong that I bought in China even as I type this. I try HARD to be a good client. I try so hard to get help when I need it and be tough when I need to be tough.
> So maybe instead of saying there WILL be a storm and freaking some, maybe you can say something more along the lines of....This may well be a challenge, but I am tougher than I give myself credit for, I know what I need to do, and I will take care of myself over this next period of time.
repetition: I have been stable on meds for several months now. There may be some meds that I will continue to take everyday for a while. There may be some meds that I can take prn. I may have to replace medication with lifestyle changes like exercising and vitamins. I am prepared to do that. I am prepared to continue to see T twice a week if it makes it easier to function. Life is a challenge (1st noble truth- life is suffering) there is no easy way outta most of life. I am no different from any other struggler out there. I am no more precious or less precious. I am no stronger or weaker. I just AM.
>I WILL cope. I CAN cope. And I know what to do, and I know how to recognize, when things are sliding, and so take appropriate actions.

put pdoc's number in telephone. Ask if it's okay to make an extra appt if I'm feeling poorly. Alert h to signs that I'm going bonkers and tell him what he can do to get me to help myself> Mebbe this has been a big annoying sermon.
> But it is truth.
> OK.
> Annoying Muff'll go now.
> Take care,
