Sunnydays, there's nothing wrong with taking medication as needed. As Happyflower pointed out, it doesn't make you weaker, it shows your strength to make a decision that's healthy for you.
I also think you should listen to your therapist about pacing. It doesn't make you a failure to pace properly. That's how it's supposed to be done.
I couldn't get by without Risperdal at times, which acts as a tranquilizer when I'm in extreme distress. I don't think it makes me weak, and neither does my therapist. He wants to be there as much as he can for me, but there are limits to what he can do. And I need to work and take care of my family in the meantime.

You've got a good therapist who wants what's best for you. That's a good thing for you to know and hold on to. But it might also be good to trust him in real life ways too.
