I don`t think of myself as `for` or `against` medicaation. Rather, I think of myself as beinbg `for` healing. One thing I know for sure is that it is impossible to think productively - impossible for our mind to work `for` us, when we are consumed with pain. Based on your posts, you are in intense pain the majority of the time. It might not be possible to engage in therapy in a genuinely productive way until after the intensity of your emotional pain has been quieted.
Ask any medical doctor, and they will tell tou that addressing physical pain is the single most important thing they can do to facilitate physical healing.
When you are in pain, all of your resourses, your energy, is devoted to relieving the pain. It`s a survival mechanism. If the pain does not subside, you have little available for growth and `higher` matters of functioning like healing. It`s not just you - it`s that way for everyone. So Annabelle, I think you will help yourself a LOT if you would find a good psychiatrist and at least discuss it with them.
