" But I just listen to my feelings; for now I just them guide the way" and that's what I need to learn how to do (without anxiety interfering)
Ahhh, we sound so similar! Really! I take meds too, and always debate with myself (I have arguments with myself quite a bit, don't I? LOL) whether to stay on the meds or go off temporarily so that T can see me in my "natural state". I told him this once, and while he didn't recommend that I come off my meds, he did ask me questions about what it is like for me without them.

I know how hard this is. I wish there was an easy solution.
