Scott,
Your excellent post got me pretty choked up. During my meltdown on Christmas, I told my husband that I felt like I had cancer of the soul. I meant no disrespect to those who have cancer, and perhaps that was cavalier of me to say, but the depths and lonliness were so awful, it was the only way I could attempt to define it.
I've been off meds since Nov and don't know whether to go back on them or not. Haven't seen a PDOC since Sept, no therapy since last spring. Seeing these folks just seemed to add to my despair, as one drug after another failed or resulted in intolerable side effects. Also, my PDoc seemed to lack compassion, although I'm sure my expectations were not realistic.
Now, after all kinds of meds, therapy, treatment "centers", it's like, where can one turn for relief?
