For awhile, I decided that my depression was almost entirely biological. Then I realized this decision came after I also decided that I couldn't do anything about it.

I guess I feel fear or powerless right now. Those are cores of mine.

And only therapy can help me work on this-- the medication is just a temporary tool, in hopes that it will balance me out just a bit, enough to help me focus on the important stuff for the time being (school, internship, therapy, relationship, work).

[b) You feel that your need for meds will be resolved via therapy? I think I will be on them for life.. it seems.[/b]

So basically what I'm saying is I made my decision that my problems were biological in a time of great frustration and stagnation in what I was going through. I am not sure what makes you feel as though you haven't gotten to 'the core.' I am not discounting your feelings at all, just pointing out that from reading your post, you have obviously made extremely long strides, and have engaged in great progress. I know that with my own therapy, I cannot identify one core. It is more like a mess of entanglement, lol. Will it ever get untangled?

I think I am at the core and that I too have had a mess of entanglement that for the most part has been untangled... now for what comes next.... PS..I bet your T could tell you some of your cores or you will come to them at some point.

"You think that I'm difficult, don't you?" And he said, "Is it that I think you are difficult, or is it that this is a difficult situation?" See what I mean? Nothing changed, but the way I was perceiving the issue shifted.

I think that we are working on our perceptions now and how we need to proceed.

Thanks for your thoughts Pink. You are on your way.
