I've been following your experiences, and again it's good to know I'm not alone (although it sucks to think other people are going through this as well).Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336996863527228417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700594760561976453.post-64354844471713453752012-04-11T01:27:39.504-07:002012-04-11T01:27:39.504-07:00The quicksand feeling is almost the worst part.

It's a work in progress and something that needs attention every day, but luckily we have the ability to not continue sinking in the quicksand. Thanks for sharing this here, and best your way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700594760561976453.post-73014175638655909992012-04-10T14:16:17.504-07:002012-04-10T14:16:17.504-07:00You're welcome, Emma...

I know that I have to do it at some point, I'm just scared. I'm trying to get through that, though.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336996863527228417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700594760561976453.post-30567731024895124602012-04-09T18:39:10.734-07:002012-04-09T18:39:10.734-07:00It's like anything else, you have to decide it...It's like anything else, you have to decide it's worth doing. For me, it became obvious that meds along wouldn't do it. <br /><br />The issue was that I wasn't ready to to go thru the therapy. I finally decided I had to do and it was, and still is, scary as hell at times.<br /><br />But, at least for me, it is worth it. I hope you can find what you need and if there is anything I can do, don't hesitate... k?Scott Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631349520282171319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700594760561976453.post-4592487408676463692012-04-09T18:06:58.272-07:002012-04-09T18:06:58.272-07:00Thank you so much for the response.

I am looking into counselling, but in the past it has had a really negative short term effect on me (after the sessions I feel like it's spiralling out of control even more). <br /><br />I was hoping that after being on the meds for a while I might be in a good enough place that I could cope with counselling and eventually experience some positive long term effects from it, but I'm just not sure if I'm there yet. I am definitely considering it.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336996863527228417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700594760561976453.post-14333286812430223882012-04-09T17:59:54.765-07:002012-04-09T17:59:54.765-07:00Hi Emma,

Recovery is hard work, some days are better and some are worse.<br /><br />I've had T1 and clinical depression for as long as I can remember. I've been on and off various meds for years, it took forever to find some that worked. <br /><br />And it took even longer for me to decide that I was worth fighting for. I've been seeing a counselor for several months now and it has made things better for me.<br /><br />You can do this, you are worth doing it for. And you don't have to be alone in doing it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03819116400052445950noreply@blogger.com
