thanks maven... it's so frustrating because there was a stretch of a couple years where it was totally under control and not severe at all. now it's been getting worse and worse, and i don't want to go back to where i was 5 or 6 years ago, because that was hell. and it is almost impossible to make my loved ones understand what it's like. they all seem to think i have control over the thoughts and am just being negative.
a cure would be a dream come true. for now i'm starting to think i may need to go back on meds and see if it helps. back to t, too.
