Hi SLS,
I wasn't quite clear, but T calling me 'cured' was more tongue in cheek. There's plenty of work to be done. I have to conquer my fear of men, and of the world, for example. I have to learn to make choices that support mental health rather than undermine it.Support, humor, good advice, analysis, change. These are the reasons why I'm in therapy. Still have 30 sessions paid for by insurance until november. cool, huh?
T told me that at this point in his career he felt like a senior clergyman. Not quite sure if he believes in God, but he sure talks about him a lot. I keep faith in the therapeutic process. It really is a challenge to keep things going without concocting some drama, however. This is one of the hard choices I have to make- that people will continue to care about me even when I'm not a black pit of suffering.
Thanks for all the info and support you provide on this board and elsewhere ((((SLS)))) --hoping that hugs are okay. See? I'm in remission! Hugs for EVERYONE!!

back to med stuff. I read in a thread up above that lamictal should be given in split doses, but I take mine all at once. Until about 5 days ago I was taking it in the pm, but now I'm taking it in the am. I have a headache, but can't tell any difference.
Again, I have to make good choices here. My med regime has stabilized me (who was very erratic in my trajectory towards being superhuman), and I want to start tweaking it. SSRI weight gain, for example. 20 lbs worth, to be specific. metformin? I dunno. Worked for my mama though.
