Thanks for such great replies. All your insights have given me some things to think about- thank you.
and... not to worry B2c-- you didn't come across as rude at all-- I prefer blunt any day over sugar coating! I like things straight to the point.
I did tell my new T. about how my former T. doesn't believe in "chemical" imbalances and that I didn't take any meds at that time. So she does know about that. She also knows I feel I will lose a part of myself, it's a part that I've grown to love and hate.... it feels so intensely for anyone that is hurt- yet it keeps me from being too close to others as it is so painful. I'm afraid to lose it and fear meds will change me! ( what if I become callous or mean!!?)
And B2c.... ummm I've thought about the crazy balance I seem to be doing with keeping in contact with two T.s.(though my former one- that I email, is more like a collegue than patient-doctor relationship-- though I have no education myself in the field) It could be harmful yes.... I just can't tell yet, if it is or not for me. *shrugs*....
I will keep all the wonderful replies I have gotten here in mind-- and
--I did it... I just called and made an appointment.... the office there is so busy that I won't be seen for 6 weeks!! so I have lots of time to think about this issue.... hmmm... not sure if that's a good thing(flutterby says, as she bites her nails)..... ah well...
thanks again to everyone! You've all been a great help!
