I`ve two hands up on that one-one for meds-just xanax( a tranquiliser) for my bottom drawer when things get just too difficult to handle here.
I went to three different cousellors and found them useful to a small degree. They listened, and nodded and said I was ok. Then I found the most terrific therapist who listened, and probed and told me bluntly about my part in the M breakdown. Wow! I`d been blaming my WS all along!
Friends are great for support-but they`ll take your side. family are wonderful too-but they`ll KILL for you. A really decent therapist will hear more than you`re saying and draw more of you out and put you in a better place to understand and heal yourself.
