oh corafree....what horrible things that humans do to one another.
I'm not a doctor or a psychiatrist. Just a human being. And I would say that the things that you have mentioned in your post...the abandonment by your husband, being backhanded, etc...those things are NOT okay to have happened to you. No, never. And especially if you are a senstive and empathic person.
To also have the responsibility of raising three children, and they sound great, is still an enormous amount of emotional work. I respect that.
I would recommend that you try to protect yourself from some of these labels that health care professionals are trying to pin onto you. It may be just enough to know right now that you are sensitive (a good thing) and have been mistreated (not a good thing).
I have benefitted quite a bit from med treatments, yes. And I have benefited as much, if not more, from a sensitive, smart counselor. My mind, it works like a radio. The meds only clear away some of the static so I can hear clearly what is being played on old tapes and work on erasing them.
I wish that the insurance companies would write compassion into their scripts of what will be covered...we would all benefit so much, I think.
Sorry if this isn't entirely making sense...it's been an exhausting day. Maybe I can make more sense later.
