I guess I don't really know the difference between the two. Both my primary IC and the one covering for her while she is on vacation, are MSW and LICSW. I have been going for 10 weeks now. The original one is definitely much better than the covering her vacation. He just listens and doesn't offer much advice.
An update from the last week. Stayed pretty busy this week, somewhat busy weekend coming up. It has been a month since I started daily meds, and I had 3 weeks of hell on them. I never even thought of the possibility the meds were making it worse. I just kept feeling like it was all me, but the emotions were so over the top and so absurd at times, that the doctor said it definitely happens a lot where things get worse before better. I did more research and found tons of people who went through what I went through. The doctors don't tell you that so you don't just go out and placebo yourself miserable. I have had about a week now of unexplainable relief. Still sad, still emotional, but more normalized. I was in the deepest darkest hole I have ever been in. I can finally breathe now that the meds are leveling off. Weight loss is stalled. I may have put a couple lbs back on, because I went into binge mode when I was at my low.
No other news. W still traveling. Haven't heard from her at all in a couple weeks. No idea when she is returning.
