Kristen,
How long did you try Zoloft for? Transpersonal Psychology. The transpersonal means "beyond person" whatever you want to call it. It is the classical study of psychology through the different eras, Freud, Object Relations people (Klein, Winnicott, etc.) and then Humanistic (Rogers), Existential and then Transpersonal. It bascially holds psychology with the knowledge that there is something greater - spirit or whatever you want to call it. (spiritual emphasis). It's just taking into account many levels of consciousness and beyond. It's hard to describe and it's not really the forum for this discussion!!! so I really don't feel comfortable saying more here.I have found that I need to be careful who I reach out to. Boundaries are important, because sometimes a "friend" may say something hurtful, as I put myself in a vulnerable position in an "unsafe" environment...misjudging my "friend". I guess the thing to do is address that with her if you feel she can receive it, if not maybe find new friends?!
good luck with your new round on Effexor.
Katia.> Katia, I am in California:-)My name is Kristen
> It was already taken so I called myself Krissy-a nickname from my family like when I was 4 :-) Anyways, what do you mean by "tranversal" Psych? I'm majoring in Health and Psych. I love it. I tried Zoloft, but I don't think I gave it a chance-I am really, really careful about taking SSRI's because I had gained a whopping 80 Lbs from Prozac. I wish you didn't have such side effects with Effexor as it has really done wonders for me in the past-that's why I went back on it.
> Like you, I also, decided just today that I was not going to go on the way I've been living-mostly teachiing people how to treat me. I talked to an old, good friend tonight and she dissed me bad-she has changed and I knew this when I came back to California-long story. (I lived in Oregon for a year). People are funny. Now, I am going to mull over this commment she made-she is quite ignorant, now I feel a little more alone. I don't know if someone out there is trying to tell me that I have a new life coming-with new people-new loves-whatever, but man this is tough. Anyway, thanks for your reply-hope to hear from you again:-)
