I hope the meds kick in and work for you sonya.
as far as therapy, you've proabably read a lot here lately about the right therapist. falls had a good suggestion about the different types. i found cbt good for the "here and now" stuff like my family issues - kids, husband, boredom. Insight oriented therapy good for understanding my issues. and i don't know what kind of therapy it is i'm doing now, but i have very high hopes for this T. i need to work through a lot of pain and anger. i think they need to understand what exactly you want to accomplish in therapy. When i first went in, he asked me what i wanted to accomplish and that's what i told him - i needed to work through the pain and anger. maybe finding the right T, then telling them what you want to work through, then having them ask the right questions, and having the right fit/connection combo is what it takes?
good luck...
