restarting

Welp, I started taking my meds again...

I talked with my therapist and we agreed that I should try them again.

I'm not sure what to think of my pdoc's comment on dementia vs meds, though. If you don't remember, it was something along the lines of "you probably won't live long enough to reach dementia anyway, so don't worry it."

I didn't tell my therapist he said that because I don't want to get him in trouble, seeing as they work in the same office. I don't want to be caught in the middle of a legal thing if that's what it ends up being. It's the same reason I didn't say anything to her about my previous therapist who talked about himself masturbating even though I never said anything that would even hint at the idea of anything sex related.

OMG!!!!! your therapist was talking about that to you?????
That would have triggered me big time.
HOw could you put up with that????
I would have reported him to somebody.....
hugs to you blue for agreeing to take meds again.

Hi Blue,

I am glad you have been able to talk about meds with your therapist.

I am very sorry your former therapist has been quite the jerk!

I think of you daily and hope all is going well for you.

I think you have decided wisely in restarting meds.

(Yikes on that previous T! )

If you trust your current T, and her judgement to take meds, then that counts for a lot.

I'm glad you've gone back on your meds. It takes courage to do that. Good for you!

Good job on giving your med's a try again.

I'm glad you decide to take your medication. How long are you going to try for?

Good decision , proud of you !

That old T .... omg !!!! I would have lost my shyt

He was 33 years old when he was my therapist. I think he was immature and dumb more than anything.

I basically said: “My room is a mess, so I started cleaning it up. But in order to make room to clean up, I had to temporarily put stuff on my bed. But then I was so exhausted that I had fallen asleep on my bed with stuff on it.” Then he said, “I like to keep my bed clean so I can masturbate.”

I just don’t want to be caught up in a legal battle or anything. Then it’s he-said-she-said. No proof he did it. They have to go by my word, but if he denies it, then what? Nothing.

I'm glad you've decided to start taking meds again, bluebicycle! I hope you'll be able to find the right meds combination for you. Wow, your old therapist was really inappropriate. I hope your new T is much better than that! I think so, since you've decided to follow his advice. Also, I think you have every right to share your doubts with your T about what your Pdoc said, although I understand you don't want to get into trouble. Still, if it's bothering you, I think it's worth bringing it up. That's just my opinion, though. The final decision is up to you. Feel free to PM me anytime. I'm always available if you need to talk. Wish you good luck! Let us know how it goes. Sending many hugs to you
