The only thing I can suggest is to follow your pdoc's and therapist's recommendations, provided you have confidence in their judgment. If covered by insurance, a second opinion is never a bad thing, if only to (re)confirm what you and the doc already know.

The fact that you're aware that your judgment can't always be trusted is huge, in my opinion. (I have that same awareness, and I believe that as long I still have it I probably won't go too far wrong. Or at least I hope.)

Has your pdoc suggested that? I'm glad you aren't hospitalized, and that you clearly are much better functioning than before.

Then by all means please keep writing. I'll be reading even if no one else does.
