""professional" person to talk to might help a bit ....both have their benefits."
TD, Yes, I'm seeing an IC, but honestly, she just wants me to get into the mindset of divorcing him and all that goes with it. Not much help in DB. I did tell her about DB and she 'argued' with me about it. I just stuck to my convictions, though.
"...instead of depending upon our background from the school of hard knocks."
Gosh, please don't take this wrong. I don't mean any offense but I feel like I have 'major' problems. Maybe I do. I have to say that this is the first time in my life I've ever been on meds, and I'm a little afraid of that.
I need to explain that the doc put me on Zoloft about a month ago, and then after three weeks, I broke out in rashes and had extreme "allergic reactions," which was *also* a contributer to part of the panic attacks. Anyway, I'm not making excuses for myself but I'm sure this behavior affected my H. He doesn't/didn't know how to handle it either, and that made the sitch worse.
Then, last Thursday, she took me off Zoloft completely, cold turkey. She was also giving me Xanax, which is habit forming. I stopped taking them, by myself a few days ago and so, I was withdrawing.
I know these things are contributors. I hope I'm not as crazy as I sound. You don't have to worry about me anymore. I'll be OK.
