Kiddo--
I'm not sure what to say to make you feel better, but
I just wanted you to know I felt moved by your post
and wanted you to know I support you and care. I have
felt the same way you do before (often) and it sucks (which
is a huge understatement). Some thoughts that come to
mind is that if you've been well until just 3 months
ago that you might be panicking over your bad feelings.
In other words, it's not the feelings that are so bad, it's
the thoughts/judgements you are having about them. You are
terrified you will go back "to that place" of 6 years ago.
But feelings pass...just because you are having bad feelings
now, dosen't mean you'll go back to that place...it could just
mean you're having some bad feelings and you're freaking yourself
out by thinking your going back to that place. Am I making any
sense at all? Also, you could be going through some
drug withdrawal which is causing all this stuff to have an
extra big intensity of charge to it. No, ad's aren't addicting
per say, but when you quit taking something that has worked, your
body reacts. I think when you find a med that works the intensity
of all this stuff will die down some. Sometimes it helps
just to remind yourself that you are going through a biologically
caused reaction, that you aren't a "basket case".I hope you find relief and comfort soon. It's really hard
to be in the space your in now. Try, try, try...I know it's
hard...to be kind to yourself...to treat yourself with
compassion...Hang in there. I'm thinking about you. Roo
