hi lovelorn,
thanks for the comforting words. what kind of therapy are you going through? i was seeing psychologist but i dunno if it was working. its not like they can talk you out of your misery. some stuff might help a little for the duration that they're talking to you then once you leave the office and if your still feeling crappy
you go right back to square 1 again. that's my experience. are you tapering off all your antipsychotics? or just zyprexa? lucky you if you you're tapering off all of them. hang in there and watch out for the reoccuring symptoms from med discontinuation.take care,
nfc

Tapering off that now. Been in therapy just over a year. 100%, well I am not there yet. I do know what it feels like. I do remember before I ever had breakdowns what that felt like and who I was and how I lived. I am not like that right now. Working on getting back to that. It can't happen fast enough, though my mind is in need of so much repair. I am doing okay, going to work, doing my responsibilities as a mom. Some days it seems I am barely hanging on. I wish therapy would work better and faster. That's pretty much my story.
