>>>>I feel like my intense feelings and my endless thoughts are all that I have-- they constitute the substance of my being, and their blessing is one of the only things that is mine. I don't want anyone to take that away from me. I will not allow anyone to take that away from me.<<<
I stopped responding to your posts because the above quote says it all. You like these intense feelings. For you, it defines "living". Having a calm mind and body scares you. As Dr. Phil would ask, "How is that working for you?" You would rather hold on to the FEAR and turmoil then accept there is an alternative.
I do not take medications but have friends and family that successfully do. Most have/had positive experiences with medication. Sometimes, a calmer mind helps the therapy process along. But you don't want to hear that. You have already decided to hold onto the inner turmoil as your life perserver.
Threatening suicide is not helpful. Maybe taking the suggestions and help your therapist considers might be a wise first step.
