In reply to can you cope without meds? & another ?, posted by first day here on May 6, 1999, at 13:52:32
> how do you know if you have been properly diagnosed if it takes so long to get better or if you have to try so many diff. meds then maybe I could be being treated for something when it should be something different? how much has therapy helped you? it doesn't seem to help me much, although I am down to once a month visits, it didn't seem to be wonderful help when I was going more frequently either. should I look for someone else? I have been up and down this internet looking for something to answer these and I cannot seem to get any answers on my own. Seems like there is too much to cover in one 45 minute session and I have to pick and choose what I need to talk about and we never seem to get to stuff that takes me awhile to say without having some sort of breakdown. I'm ready to jump off a bridge, please give me some answers.
first day,
You have found a good place for support. I don't have any answers--and no advice--to offer, but I wanted you to know that I read your post. You are doing better than I am because I can't even get myself back into therapy. I never seem to have any problems getting meds, but without any type of structured program I am just self-medicating (lorazepam).Last month I read several good posts re: finding a good therapist. You might want to look back over the main "threads" for April.
Be kind to yourself,
cait
