thank you for sharing it does indeed help. especially your story. if i read it right you had to go back on meds after severing the ties?
i ask because my wife was off everything for about a month. then we moved and at the same time severed ties to her parents. it appears that her previous therapy focused more on childhood traumas from other people. but her parents abuse has really come to forefront now. of course the stress of moving to another country doesn't help.
the meds started a week ago and tonight we had a great 2 hour talk about high school experiences. but every other moment is about how she gives up. that this pain is her lot in life and that i should leave her for my own good.
i'm trying to get her to a new therapist here for the first time. right now she says she won't leave the house.
it doesn't help though that she also pain in all her joints that weakens her. it seems like her mom's voice prays on the pain and tells her that the US is bad for her and makes her sick. i think she gives up hope to quiet the inner battle.
how long did it take for your meds to help. how do you know when they're starting?
have you been resolving the issues with your family? was it new issues that caused the relapse or another stress?
i know for her she feels like every time she tries to do what she wants it won't happen.(her mother never allowed her to do what she wanted but she had to enjoy what the mother wanted)
thank you so much,
ben
