Yeah, that's part of it. And it's a hard part for me to get past. (Gee, you'd almost think I had issues around weight and food, huh? And through two and a half hours of assessment, I never once mentioned having an eating disorder...)

> So I feel your pain. Try to take the med for just one day. And then another day.That's part of what makes this so hard -- if I do that, I'll be taking the medication. How crazy is that? The idea of taking it is so overwhelming. {shrug} I know I'm nuts, but it really does feel as though the world will end if I do take it.
>Have a "safe person" with you who understands you are a bit nuts on this and swears they will call for help if you keel over.
:-) Yeah, there's an idea. Sure makes me wish I wasn't so isolated. My husband will try to help, he's good that way. I'm the problem, and I know that.
