In reply to doing so well I might never go back, posted by raisinb on May 21, 2008, at 9:06:01
it sounds like you said it just right. that you've been working hard to get where you are and the meds gave you the help you needed.
i'm VERY happy for you!but you might not miss your therapist BECAUSE you have this NEW feeling of finally feeling good and don't want to go to the place where you face bad feelings. and thats ok. it's ok if you take a break. i have this feelings too. when i'm finally feeling good i don't feel the need to go. and feel fine not going if i miss a week.
However, i say go back at least to this next appt. tell her/him how well you are doing and considering taking a break from therapy for a while.But Raisin, it might be a good idea to hang onto therapy for a few weeks just to make sure that the med doens't shoot you too far in to a hypomanic/manic state that could be damaging. a T is a great way to touch base with that sort of thing.
i wouldn't make any permanant decisions until you know for sure how this med pans out.
but i'm SO happy you are feeling so well.
best wishes
