((Secret))
I have not been in therapy all that long and have only touched on core issues; but when we have touched them, OUCH, they hurt a lot.
Like Mouse, my T has said that the anti-d's help lift the mood; especially when there is a family tendency and life circumstance contributing to the depression. The anti-d's have helped me be able to work as I was too miserable for even a therapeutic conversation to take place. However, this is such an individual thing that only you can decide for you. Remember, the body holds the memory and my T says the body never lies. So, depression is your body's way of telling you something.
I also like the idea of taking extra gentle care of yourself right now. Do good things for you. Read something trashy, take a bubble bath, take a long walk, swim; get a massage.
Please be good to yourself, Secret. Will be thinking of you tomorrow. It will be okay, I just know it. All you can do is the next right thing, right?
