Thank you, amandalouise. That sounds way different from how my care is. I've heard something about WRAP, but I've not been started on developing any plan. Well, there is this treatment plan that I have a copy of. It states some good sounding goals, but to me it's just an exercise in wishful thinking.
I know I have to do a lot to help myself. One thing that bothers me is that there is no "team." At PSR, they told me that my pdoc should be going over a treatment plan with me. I've never seen it. My pdoc and my primary care doctor are at odds over some of my medication. There is no attempt on their part to collaborate. I'm in the middle just getting exasperated. I have no peer consumers to meaningfully compare notes with. At PSR, we don't share our feelings and our state of mind. The classes we attend together are usually not conducted in a way that seems to be getting through to anyone. I'm hoping I can get friendly with someone there, a peer like me. Just some human contact to break up the isolation.
I'm glad for you that you have a supportive group of professionals working as a team. You sound so positive about your treatment. For you to say that your quality of life has not gone down, despite your problems, says a lot for the help you are getting. I think it says a lot about you, too.
