"(if I am still alive)"
How old are you, if this isn't too personal of a question? Once my children realized that people don't live forever they became quite concerned. I later told them they would probably live to 120, because of all the gains in medical knowledge. For you if you're in your 20's it's probably around 100. Still alot of living!
" ... presynaptic regions for serotonin reuptake. SSRI= Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors."
I still don't really understand what SSRI really means and in my present condition the how and why doesn't concern me as much as that it does work.
"Case in point: I do not feel secure in taking psychiatric meds."
I don't blame you. I think it would be arrogant on our part to think we understand everything about how medications interact with our bodies. For myself the present is more pressing than the future or the benefits are outweighing the risks. This is what Allisonm was getting at I think.
"Once I figure out what those people lack (attention needy, power needy, lonliness, for instance), I find that I can interact with them a whole lot better by giving them leeways on those exact issues."
Now this is an example of insight. I too starting doing this but I have a problem with verbal diarrhea. I'm learning to think a little quieter now.
"It is very dis-satisfying to realize that this person who connect so well to you internally and during sessions can not be your friend in the everyday sense."
Yes, but are they being totally honest of their thoughts in a session or are they programmed this way through their training?
