I didn't think you sounded harsh at all.
I just can't appreciate the way mental health is handled in this area. In my experience, the pdoc will only see you once every 3 mos. or so, for 5-10 mins. at the max, write the scripts, push you out the door. The T's are ok, but I don't know. I gave up both because I can have the gen. prac. write a script for 6 mos. and I don't have the hassles of all the visits. I think I'd gone as far I could go with the only T available (per my ins.) without driving an hour.
The kind of T treatment I'd be most interested in trying just aren't in the middle of these cornfields. But I understand what you're saying about feeling better on meds., only masking the real problems.
Don't think I could work through it alone w/out meds. at this point in time. Maybe when the kids are a little older. How in the world were you able to cope?
I hated feeling like a psycho-bitch on wheels with permanent PMS. It's scary to think that's what I'd be going back to. And I'm sure my husband really wouldn't look forward to it! ;~}
Maybe I could move in with you for a while until I get myself straightened out? LOL!!!
Thanks for your input. I think youare amazingly brave!
