When people feel like they are a long way away, under water, or talking through themselves before they can get out (and the meds are like they are), I don't see any option than therapy (apart from better friends).
I was speaking to a friend last night, Dx bipolar (isn't everyone, but maybe it's right) and she was so far away.
She said 'I am going to try to see my aloneness as a good rather than a bad thing'.
I said 'We start out as part of someone else, and when we are 10 or whatever, we realise we are seperate. This makes some people anxious, some despair, some are frightened, some are fortunate enough to have an accepting and helpful environment and get past it.'
So I suppose I see that as the role of therapy.
Did it do that for me?
Maybe a bit.
The gods help those who help themselves, but what for those who can't? (for I was one).
