Hi violette,
Thanks again for your kind post. I think you are really right guessing that my therapist (a female) tried to take down my defenses. I felt she was kind of skeptic/cynic exactly when I was celebrating that my intellect/memory was back. It's about 4 years that I have been feeling really mentally impaired... so I couldn't believe she was acting cynic regarding something I cared so much about.
But I admit that maybe I was starting to follow the same path to try to escape reality (rationalizing, fantasizing). I tend to go from apathetic to highly mental, so I rarely stay in a range that allows me to feel emotions normally... I guess that would be too overwhelming.
I rarely remember dreams, so my therapist says I seem to have pretty strong defenses.
I hope I'm able to keep using just benzos, violette. I feel that ADs are really powerful and usually mess things further up. Don't know if you have the same kind of experience.
Peace
Ralph
