Re: New add to advice welcomed...help

Sharon,
All I can say is try not to be in a hurry with recovery. It took you a long time to get to where you are and it will take time to get back to normal. I believe you just went on your meds didn't you? It usually takes three weeks for them to take full effect then you need therapy time while the drugs are at their peak. Kick back and think about something else if you can. Distractions are good as long as they don't trigger anxiety. Running would be good to get your endorphins going but I don't know how you feel about that. Time aids in recovery. People tend to regress to their regular self. Just wait for a while and try not to agonize over it. I think you will be feeling better soon.

Have you tried any other therapists? I know yours came highly recommended but maybe depression isn't what she is best at. You shouldn't be getting stressed out and upset by getting support and positive messages. Maybe I am leading you to believe things will happen instantly, if that is so it is not my intention. I think you need to let the drugs and time do what they do for a while yet. Summer break is coming that should be a big kicker. I have about two weeks left of school and it can't come soon enough. Hang in there Sharon.
