AdaGrace, I have spent a long time on those spiral staircases. They make me pretty dizzy! You're definitely being harder on yourself than anyone else could possibly be.
I know that many of your babble friends here have suggested therapy and that it doesn't fit in time-wise with your life right now. If you're not able to take that step yet (and I'm suggesting that it's important that you make time to do it, really); then would you consider reading some books and perhaps trying to do some of the homework for yourself?
Feeling trapped, spied upon, having your livelihood threatened, these are all frightening scenarios. What can change, though, is how you react to the situations - that's really what therapy helps you to do.
It makes me unhappy to see you hurt like this. Things get better, but only if we can change ourselves first. That is the biggest thing I've learned in the past 6 years. OK, OK, so I'm a slow learner...
How about one of those pill reminder boxes to get you taking the meds when you're supposed to, to start?partlycloudy, trying not to lecture but to help my friend AdaGrace.
