Isn't life just too complicated to analyze with any certainty? I am finally at the point that I'm not wondering how I got this way anymore and just trying to manage it. Wondering can drive you crazy but is a natural thing to do after what you have been through. Good luck meeting new people; now that you have gotten through the worst of it, things will probably get better for you... |
I am trying to tease it apart a bit b/c medical care is so disjointed. The GYN wants to treat everything from a GYN perspective. I was so traumatized at my new family practice doc (the nurse practitioner was awful - she freaked when i told her I had GAD) - I need to find another regular doc. Psychiatrists want to throw 3-4 meds at once at it (which one is really helping?). No one really looks at how all the meds/biological hormones are interacting. I guess that's my point.
Thanks for the response, and yes, I am hoping things will get better. I hope you continue to grow and mend, one step at a time.
