Hi Rigby,
> I'm so sorry to hear you are in such pain. In terms of therapy, sorry, I don't know your story. Have you ended therapy--permanently or temporarily?
Yeah, I stopped about nine months ago, and I was fine at the time but now I’m depressed again and missing therapy horribly. My doc says I’m too unwell at the moment and has given me Prozac… but what I really want is therapy.
> Your husband doesn't sound very supportive. Is this unusual for him or is this an issue?
It’s unusual; at least, he usually intends to be supportive. But it doesn’t always feel that way. I think he meant: “You’re so strong, keep going; you can do it.” But right now I need to hear that it’s OK not to be superwoman and that fighting the sh*t isn’t the answer to everything.
> It sounds to me like you are plenty the fighter but now's not the time to be playing that "role."
Exactly.
> Can you guys talk about this?
I’d like to, but I’m too ashamed of being such a disappointment. So I’ve been cutting myself instead. But I think I’ll move on to alcohol now, and then sleep. All bad coping mechanisms in *moderation*: that’s my motto :-)
