You are my soul sister!
I have done therapy off and on for 20 years and while I have gotten some nuggets about dealing with other people and insight about my own pathology I feel more frustration over therapy.
We spend a lot of time digging things apart and I'm like "no sh*t, I tear myself apart every time I have a spare moment in my head, but what can we do about it?" and it always goes to deep breathing or "that's where our work lies" without any follow up. Then I walked around suicidal because I feel there is no hope at all.
Anywhoo...I find lamictal behaves differently with different drugs. Alone it slows me down, but with Celexa it seems to amp me up.
I have friends that report they have had mixed episodes on lamictal and ended up in the hospital. I will definitely jump from dysphoric to rageful and then snap back to normal sometimes. After years on meds I can't really discern normal mood changes from med reactions. People with trauma can be extra sensitive to changes and seem like they are cycling.
sorry if you already said this, but what is your dx?
