 But the fact that you are here now, proves you are so ready for change and ready to accept help. Get a new shrink, there are good ones and bad ones take your time and find one you like. Follow his instructions and keep remembering those bad times. They help you find the good times. The meds are to help us with the chemicals in our bodies that regulate our moods, and our INHIBITIONS. We are lacking that important joy juice, Seratonin.

It's like a woman on hormone replacement meds, we just need some joy juice replacement.

Love

We cannot walk a straight line.
We've stepped on our brother's foot.
We forget to be thankful.
We feel alone.
We think our dance is the only dance there is.

 oh yes, I know I'm ready for change... it makes the tips of my fingers and toes tingle when I think about the trajectory I've put my life on.

I'm not going to find a new p-doc. He's been treating me for about 4 years now and is incredibly kind yet firm in his suggestions. I did try Lamictal for over a year and Paxil for another year... I am open to taking meds.

It's really important that before I go back on that track I clearly separate out the lack of joy that was infused into my life by my dead relationship from the lack of joy that is in effect by virtue of unbalanced neurochemicals and hormones.

And yes... I am receptive to all of the possibilities that could lead me closer to that sweet peaceful feeling we all chase.

 And I think you have the tenacity to find it, ride. You have good communication skills and I think the motivation to be very successful in your pursuit. Best of luck to you. We are always here so keep us up to date on your progress and keep asking questions if you think we can help
