two things stand out to me

being more active in your own care -

and OMG i forgot lol my memory sucks - let me go back and see lol

oh yes - that they need ot listen attentively when we say we are not happy

therapy was good for me and took me a long way - i think although the anti depressants stopped me from feeling suicidal when i didnt have a T that was a good fit - in the long run i feel they slowed my recovery - not feelingthe feelings and dealing with them at the time
except the overwhelming ones that broke through

although wihtout the anti depressants i dont know if i would have coped initially as i didnt find a helpful T for over a year after i was attacked andgot PTSD and Depression

have i muddied the waters ? I hope not - i think that seeing anti depressants as the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - and as my pdoc said somthing i would be on forever - is just not a good idea.

take care everryone - be well P7
