I'm so sorry to hear that you're feeling so down, Dinah, and do hope it doesn't last long. I don't think you should feel you have to push forward when you are feeling so emotionally depleted. It seems like it would be better to allow others (and your own self) to just take loving care of you right now. Your T has shown that he is very able and willing to provide wonderful support when you need it.
I agree with AnnieRose-uncontrolled diabetes can make you feel just awful. Have you got a team (doctor, nurse practitioner, nutritionist) to get that aspect of things under really good control? I know you know this, but when I see you mention taking Risperdal, I get very uneasy, as all those AP's make diabetes harder to control- not to mention the fact that they can cause it in the first place. Have you discussed alternatives with your pdoc?
I hope you keep posting. I think most of us here have experienced really tough periods. I know I did- when my former T threw me out last March. The support I received from babble- including from you- really helped me tremendously during that time.
PS I was amazed to learn that that T is leading a panel of psychoanalysts here in November. The topic: "Termination: avoiding feeling of abandonment in the patient" ! I wonder if I should go and hear what he has to say.
