Is the feeling of losing the emotional self related to stopping the Depakote? I don't know because I've never taken it. Are you off of it now? What does your T say about your feelings, and about the Depakote issue?
Is it possible that your intellectual side is trying to disconnect from your current issues, to make new connections that are more in line with going back to school? Do you feel that the two are so incompatible that they can't both be alive at the same time? Being in therapy and Babble can take a lot of time, but school will take a lot of time too. If you're doing both and working you could be overwhelmed. So, could this be defensive?
I hate to see you feel so disconnected Dinah. I know how important going back to school is to you, and how much you have to offer. I hope you can get this worked out, so that you can be completely happy with your decision.
