I do hope to try an SSRI to give me some breathing room. I think it will help.
I should specify, my PTSD is not related to childhood issues; the things I posted here are separate and not anything I've ever shared before with anyone.
I probably should have just kept this post to my private journal where it belongs. On second consideration, I'm not comfortable discussing it.
Thank you again. I'm glad you had good success with your experience! |
ADeepSandbox ...You are where you are at. I tried everything before I entered therapy too. Yes, the psychologist helped with my social phobia, but I still have Major Depression. I still haven't found the magical medication that makes me feel wonderful. If and when the time seems right, you can always enter therapy later. It's a tough decision deciding to trust someone with all your secrets. For me, at the end of my first appointment, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my head. Best of luck to you!
