It occured to me since this morning that if I remain stuck, well, what am I going to do? I have spent too much time escaping to my bed. I think I need to encourage myself to be up and doing things.....and its ok to be hurting while I....do housework, etc. But, it is SO hard!
A hug for you  and one for me |
Recently I was going through a very very hard, down time. I've been on medication for years to help with depression and anxiety. I also have been receiving therapy on and off for years. I'm also very interested and study "what the brain is doing"..with all I have learned... when I went to the psychiatrist...he could see I was in crisis and I knew I was. He wanted to change my meds up a bit...I did not want more meds...I should be able to get myself out of this...but no...I did add a little medication to what I already take and of course therapy - my challenges are still all the same..BUT I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER - to take care of what I need to. I think medication is over perscribed in many cases..but other times it is a live saver. I wish you better feelings - very soon! Take care
