I like what Speaker said, most of us are talking to ourselves as much as you are, with our T's at our sides helping us with the conversation. Your verbalizing this inner struggle is such a comfort to me, knowing that others are also going through this. I don't seem to be able to put my thoughts into words like you and so many others here.
You know, we are all jealous (in a good way) of your T's kindness. He just says all the right things. It's scary how good it feels to be with them sometimes, compared to real life. But it's part of the process, one that I just don't quite understand.
I know you are scared of the meds. I think you need to treat your pain just as you would if you had a throat infection. My daughter is on a mild med and the difference in her happiness level is dramatic (a miracle really). And it's not a permanent decision. If it's not helping, you can change course. My daughter's T explained it as vital to helping her therapy along, and it has, as well as improve the quality of her life, her friendships, everything. Sending good thoughts your way (and hoping for a good nights sleep too).
