>Your post reminded me of times when meds worked at least partially. Perspective changes. What feels worthless today is not tomorrow. When in reality nothing has changed.
Anything is possible.
Reality is only what your current interpretation of it is. When your able to interpret things differently so your reality changes. If you have experienced it you will remember. If not well then you have something to look forward to.
Best wishes,

Ah, if there were one ---- I think some have managed to achieve that via meds. I had to find it in myself and sometimes, I'm not near as good as I wish I was with the self like concept.
>Is it all just pointless?
I don't think so. I know it's really difficult to see things accurately when we see them through the eyes of emotional distress - oh, we THINK we do, but we don't. I have had one exchange with you and I consider you a worthy, valuable person and I'm good at those detections. (smile) I wish you could see yourself as worthy, too. We have all done the med-go-round, only to be disappointed. I have no great words of wonderful insight - I so wish I did. I just saw your name and wanted to post.

Sandyweb,
I already posted to you. I am in a similar mindset at this time.
It ws encouraging to read what others posted.
There are many roads to take to reach what you are searching for.
I think that more than one could be the answer either in combination or by itself.
It is apparent that each of us reaches our destinations based on indivigual needs, beliefs and opportunites.I hope that the encouragement and roads traveled by others has given you a hope that you too will find the right road for yourself. I know it has encouraged me. I thank you for that.

Hear, hear. Effexor made a huge difference in my outlook and therapy has given me tools to help change my behaviours. Loving myself is the hardest thing I have ever undertaken, and I'm not there yet. For me it's not meds alone nor therapy alone, but both and even then it's not magic. It exhausts me how hard it is to pick myself up some days. Others are easier. I'm never certain of how I see myself, however. That is still a huge hurdle.

Thanks everyone.
It was just a bad day yesterday (from a situation that occurred), and the night wasn't any better. But today is a brand new slate waiting to be written upon, and the upset of yesterday is behind me and in the past. Time to write my beautiful story for this day...the day that is mine by the grace of God.
Hugs to you all,
Sandy
