> It sure would have been nice to take something to seriously calm down. Reason and evidence did not work for me...I think my emotions overwhelmed my reasoning abilities. I think I really lost it for a while. I'm afraid that this can happen to me again. I cannot control myself when I'm in such a state.
Control is much much much much much harder, I grant you that. The trouble with things that 'seriously calm you down' is that such things also tend to be seriously addictive and end up creating more problems than they solve. A low dose anti-psychotic taken regularly can sometimes be enough to PREVENT you getting to that bad place where control is much much much much harder.
And therapy too... Really. A combination of both would be best.
> I just do not know what to do when I get that way. It is such a horrible place.Yeah. I don't know what to say there.
> I'm not really taking much at all right now, never had. I even cut back the Celexa I was on.Ok. Whats that? Is it an anti-psychotic? Why did you cut it back? Do you think it might be worth increasing it again?
>I think I seriously seriously need to get some help for this problem of mine (going "insane"). There is nowhere to go for help though...I do not like my GP and she is the only person who can refer me to another pdoc...I really don't like/can't stand talking with my family doc...she upsets me and annoys me. I don't the money for a T, or I don't want to spend my money on a T.
Some people just seem to rub us up the wrong way. I remember you talking about your GP before and I do have some sympathy for you there. BUT: A referral. You could even write to her: Dear so and so I would like a referral to see a psychologist / psychiatrist. I think this would really benefit me. Cheers. Something like that. Even if you could just go and talk to her with that in mind. See her once and then if you get yourself a p-doc then you won't have to see her again.
> I realize now that I could have been banned from this place so many times. I think Dr. Bob let me get away with things that are not allowed elsewhere. I had no idea. Maybe he really has seen it all and so is not totally freaked out by what I do. I'm so glad he doesn't freak out, so very very glad.Different places have different rules. Its sometimes in seeing other ways things could be done that we come to appreciate the ways things are actually done.
> Ya...talk about AWOL...I posted 20 messages on PC and all but 9 of them have not been deleted. :-(
Yeah well, I got about 5 deleted today... Trying to sort it out now...
Do you get why they were deleted?
They are probably the sorts of posts that you later regret here and probably wish were deleted ;-)
