Hi, Phillipa.
You said the your pdoc appointment was today.
Again, I wanted to add my voice to Scott's in his last post.
But if you don't feel ready for the Emsam, why don't you mostly talk to your pdoc about taking it?
Make another appointment with him for next week or two weeks, to talk about it again. Focus on the project of taking small steps over time toward Emsam. Maybe using paxil in the meantime, but with the idea that you have a goal and you'll work toward making it less frightening, and more doable.
Or go to a counselor. There must be someone you can afford on a once a week basis.
Are you depriving yourself of a life, perhaps for historical (your own history) reasons? Didn't you say your husband is a workaholic? Wouldn't he love to have you back again?
Wouldn't you love to have yourself back again?
As the sage says, If I'm not for myself, who will be? If I'm only for myself, who am I? If not now, when?
Try to think about the first and third questions.
