Thanks for the advice. I have been reading in the Alternative board over the last couple of weeks but it kinda makes my head spin...too much information and I have no idea where to start. I am looking into some blood tests an urine tests to give me an idea of where I am deficient but I don't want to pay for hocus pokus.
As for therapy I have been working with my p-doc as he is a licened therapist as well as a psychiatrist. I just don't want to spend hours and hours explaining my whole life to a new therapist and having to find somebody that I work well with. The one down fall of that is that he has been treating me for so long that we have alot to talk about. Sometimes we end up chatting about politics, about technology, about psyco-pharmaceutical issues. He is convinced that my current depression, lack of self confidence, lack of motivation, etc. is at least 75% chemical. I think this week however he realized really how much pain I am in and we focused on them. I think that now we will focus more on the 25% that is not chemical..ie my current lack of coping skills.
> Welcome to babble, Indie. If you're interested in nutritional supplements, the Alternative board is a good place to post. I'm glad you have a p-doc you trust and that you'll work with. Finding the right treatment is harrowing. It helped my p-doc for me to be specific about my symptoms - do you bring notes to your appointments?
