I kind of had to laugh. Not at you of course. But the issue of opening up in therapy is my theory of why you feel like you do. I think I have left various therapists when they started to get to issues that for me were impossible. An example, one said to me Do you think you would be better if you hadn't married your husband? Well, since I've been married several times, yes it's true[I'm embarrased to admit] I didn't want to hear this. Because when I married my current husband I married someone l3yrs younger than me which is totally against what I believe. And ironically, and I hope it was coincidence, I became sick one week after we were married. That was when my thyroid went. And the anxiety and depression began. We really had nothing in common. I already had 3 grown children and he had never been married and had none. I worked as an RN evenings and he worked during the day. And we both drank beer nightly. He never wanted to go anywhere and have fun and I was always used to going out. At least I had work then and the people I worked with to joke around with and have fun. The times at home i was content to read. Now since I've been out of work it's hard. Like right now, he's out in the back working at fixing a pitch fork. Why I don't know, while I sit in here alone. I don't think any of the AD's can fix this. I feel guilty every time I ask him to go somewhere and do something. And I don't like to be alone anymore. I think so much of how we feel is related to how our relationships are in life. I'm done looking and will work with what I have as he can be very caring. But I've tried to dull things with meds and it didn't work. I wish I knew the answer, truly I do, but unless you strongly feel a med will make you feel happier than I'd stick with the relationship theory. If you do find a magic combo I really would like to try it. Fondly, Phillipa
