Meds help me when things get out of control or when I can tell it's a chemical thing. I can't explain it, but you get to a point where you just "know" if it's chemical or not. I think therapy has helped me with that.
Without therapy, I cannot say I would be feeling good at all. She helps me to put things into perspective, helps me clarify reality when I am not quite sure about it and sometimes, is just there for a hug.
There are so many things going on that it's not going to be the same thing for you that works for me.
I wish I was there, I'd give ya a big hug! Nope, I don't think you are being a brat!
