I started therapy at the recommendation of my pdoc for helping me get my life in order after being treated for bipolar. For the first year, I just basically cried until the right meds were found. Then I didn't seem to have any need for therapy so I quit.

Fast forward 5 years & I overdosed last Aug. Pdoc again (after adjusting my meds) recommended therapy. After a couple months the therapist said bascially she couldn't help me--that I needed marriage counseling--the reason I ODed was a negative comment from my husband about my weight gain on meds.

I just don't feel I could cope with marriage counseling. Right now my husband & I are walking around each other on eggshells & pretending the OD never happened, which is why my pdoc says we need marriage counseling. I just can't bring myself to open up with him in the room with me. So I'm stuck in a bad place & don't know how to get out of it.--Suzy
