In reply to Re: Back from therapy! Kara, posted by fallsfall on August 13, 2003, at 9:41:42

Hi fallsfall,
Yes, that was the second session I've had with this therapist and I was thinking seriously about it being the last. But I think I will keep my appt. next week and try and to talk about what happened. I want to be able to be a bit clearer about it though, because I realized I left feeling so muddled yesterday. I'm still not quite sure what happened.

And thank you for saying 'Don't call your ex'!! My friends (friend?) tries to qualify everything and say she shouldn't tell me what to do, but I really *want* people to say DON'T CALL YOUR EX!!! I was going to put reminders up in my room this morning like, "Even when it was good it was bad", and "You will feel worse if you call", and "He called you an unloveable %$%" and "The guy's impotent anyway".....but I thought it would make me feel more psycho. But I liked reading your post and seeing the directive.

How are things going with you??

Ah! Thank you for making clear the obvious. Of course that's what you might infer from the events--talk about top stressors. And it is still so fresh, really.

I don't quite understand the 6/9 months thing--does that mean grieving past 6 months makes you a candidate for meds? ( I can never get behind these time slots we're supposed to have for our emotions...) Well whatever the rationale it led you to something that works for you, and that's all that matters.

I don't think your fears are the slightest bit silly; I don't see how someone wouldn't have been impacted dramatically by the timing of those two things. I do think it's unfortunate though, that you have to be left with so much unresolved fear. Is there someone--a mentor, friend, fellow Buddhist that you could talk about this with?

"ever feel like you are supposed to be learning a lesson about something and the universe is screaming it at you but you don't get it?" May I say... everyday??

But I get this sense lil Jimi, and I wish I could articulate it better, that the meaning for you ultimately is a very positive one. That on the other side of this fear lies a joy in what the actual connection might mean. I hope I'm not overstepping-- please slap me if I am. I just think there is something very beautiful waiting for you, in another reflection of the mirror.

Thank you for indulging me my stress factors-- my misdocumented drama, my inadequate dx (that sounds so funny--even my diagnosis is inadequate!). I am off to...ta da...the ear doctor, so he can look at my lanced eustachian tube.

Thank you for writing.

Hi yesac,
Nice to see you. What are your roommates like? When did you move in with them?

Roommates can be so difficult, but on the other hand you have built in company when you're getting along. I was feeling so isolated when I got up this morning, wishing I had a nice neighbor or something. At my last apt. I had friends in the building which worked out ideally; we all had our own space but we were near each other if we needed anything.

Well, off for the day---I'll check back after the ear doctor.

K.L.

hi yesac!

> ... I feel special that you guys missed me last night! I left work at the usual 6:30 EST last night... don't have internet access at home so I'm usually online if I can be at work. Sometimes I go to the library or other places to get online too.
>

i miss you!
no internet at home ... ... hmmmm .... .... now that could be a good thing ... ... i used to do that ... ... i had internet access at home, but i wouldn't even turn the computer on there for a while ... ... ah, yes, it was that 1st year or so after robert santiago was born ... ... internet at work; parenting at home ...

> I'm feeling kind of okay. I ended up talking to one of my new roomates for several hours last night. That was good. Hopefully things will begin to feel more comfortable gradually. I'm not trying to rush it or push myself too much because I don't want to let myself get all stressed out about it. Hoping that in time, we'll just all feel comfortable living together.
>

glad to hear you're feeling okay-ish there.
now you've made me happy!
great to hear that you've got to settling in the roomies .... ... and good to hear that you're taking it easy there too ... ... easy does it, is my policy!

> But I wish I hadn't missed the whole conversation here last night!
>

oh, but dear heart, you haven't missed anything ... ... it's all right there in all it's glory to be read by one and all from now on to .... forever? .... .... <yikes!?>

> I know I'm jumping in kind of late here, but here are my thoughts:
>
> kL - Yeah, I don't know about that therapist. I mean, I'm not saying ditch him, because it's your decision, and it's all about how you feel... but I do think that if your initial reaction was so strong that you didn't really like or get much from him, well... sometimes with these things I just think you need to go with your gut. On the other hand, one more session probably couldn't hurt just to see if he's still the same or what he says if you tell him how you felt about his approach.
>

i agree!
if it were me, i'd go back and give him another shot ... ... but, being me, i'd just work him over about what approach would be acceptable and tell him that i'd be building a concensus with him about what would be and what wouldn't be effective .... .... if, as i strongly expect, he would be having a hard time with this, like he's not really up for it (he can dish it out, but he doesn't want to take it, like), then i'd say 'sayonara, baby!' ... Heh!

> LJ - I'm really sorry about your parents too. I had no idea (how would I, I guess?)
>

well, thank you ... of course you wouldn't know, sweet one ... ... ... your kind thoughts are appreciated ... ... losing my folks is the most apparent instigator for my depression.

> Now you guys have got me wondering about Lexapro. I've been on Celexa and Paxil, which both did nothing for me, so I've pretty much given up on SSRIs... but I don't know. I'm just so desperate now to find something that works.
>

and desperation can lead us to disaster or liberation ... ... or, in my case, even buddhism.
... ... but as i have proven, buddhism, by itself anyway, does not cure depression ....

so then there's those dang SSRIs and SNRI such as effexor ... ... so ... what to do?

i am SOOOOOO Grateful i haven't had to take prozac, paxil, effexor, zoloft ... ... et cetera ... or even celexa, related as it is to lexapro ...

sylvia was on paxil 10 or more years ago for anxiety ... ... bad, bad, bad ... ... she never got relief from her anxiety AND no one ever told her about side-effects ... ... so we suffered a long time because of her loss of libido ... .. ... she is still trying to recover ... .. ... so even if you put a gun to my head i wasn't going take no paxil, thank ye!

but that ol' lexapro i do believe can tone up and stabilize them serotonin levels .... .... if you can get through 3, 4 maybe 8 or 9 (!) weeks of whatever SEs the gods of torture may inflict on you ... then at maybe 3 or 4 or maybe 8 (!) weeks there can be the useful beneficial therapeutic effects ... ... it is enough to try the patience of a saint!

that ol' lex thread really does tell the tale of the folks who have struggled (and not-so-struggled, like me) with my favorite ssri ... ... i would only pray with all my buddhist might that lexapro could help you ... ... as long as i'm praying, i'd pray that lex would work for you as well as it has for me, PLEASE ... ...

got posts to read now and this to post to send ... so
Later,

Not to put down Dr. ?????-???... I'm sure it's what they teach them in medical school or residency or journals or whatever. I can just see it.... A Brief Guide to Grief as It Applies to Medicine: "Patients should be given exactly 6 months to recover from the death of people who have been there for their entire lives. If, after a MAXIMUM of 6 months, the patient is still showing symptoms of grief, then the patient must be depressed and therefore whip out a prescription so that you as the MD don't have to deal with it anymore."

Hi everybody!

I must say this thread's getting very long!! It makes me feel special - kind of ridiculous, but I like it when a thread I start or am integrally involved with gets to be so long!

I feel pretty good today, actually. Yesterday I felt pretty terrible. I saw my therapist and that was fine, but I just felt terrible. Went to Walmart and felt tremendously annoyed with the large crowds and the lack of chick peas and low fat sliced cheese and egg whites (it's not a super walmart so they only have a few aisles of food). I was gonna be so pissed off if they didn't have Equate brand Cetaphil - luckily, I got the last one. They didn't have my yarn again, and neither did Michael's. I don't know if I'll ever be able to finish my blanket. I might end up having to special order the yarn for heaven's sake!

Anyways, I was going to call my psychiatrist this morning to see if I can see him sooner than next Tuesday, but then I didn't have time before I left for work and I don't really want to do it from work. I still would like to see him sooner, because I am just so tired of waiting, thinking that if I give a drug another few days maybe it will do something. I mean, it's been 9 weeks and it hasn't done sh*t, so why should a few more days matter? I might as well just get off it right now. I hope I can see him tomorrow or at least Monday. I really want to discuss what to do next, because something needs to change.

How are you guys doing today?

It's really hot and humid here.

Hi yesac,
Glad you're feeling better today. Large crowds and lack of chick peas would annnoy anyone.

What med are you on now? Nine weeks seems like a pretty good trial--although some might argue. But even a dosage adjustment might help. Maybe you can sneak in a call to the doc from work--otherwise Tuesday isn't too far off.

I feel worse as the weekend nears. For some reason it makes me think of my ex more, what he's doing, who he's with. I'm trying to bring the focus back to myself, but I don't like it there. I wish I had more weekend options, or friends to hang out with. Real friends.

It's suffocating hot here. I still haven't unpacked, and I realized one of the reasons is because I don't completely want to be here. I think subconsciously I still have my bags packed (although you couldn't pay me to move again right now). The people next to me are a bunch of cigarette smoking 80's relics--- the 18 year old sounds like he's talking through a megaphone.

I feel like I'm living in a trailor park.

Aaahh.

Hi KL... glad you're here!

Well, my meds right now are: Parnate 90mg and Neurontin 600mg. I just went off Lamictal and have been off of it since Monday - no problems there with either withdrawal or feeling differently, so I guess I know it really wasn't doing anything. The Neurontin I've only been on for 2 weeks, although it seems like longer. It's the Parnate that I'm thinking I'll go off of. Like, 60mg is the maximum recommended dose, but I've seen that people sometimes go a lot higher, so I put myself up to 90 just to see. And now I think, well should I try going up to 120? But at some point, you just have to make the decision to stop. The other thing is that I could try adding lithium, but I'm not too keen on that. I kind of feel like I just want to get off the parnate and start fresh with something totally new. It's true, Tuesday's really not far, but in some ways I just don't want to wait. Especially last night I felt really desperate like I really needed to see him ASAP. But I don't feel like that so much today.

I worry about the weekend, too, as you probably know because I post about it like every weekend! Yeah, the "bring your focus to yourself" bit is sometimes a lot harder than it sounds. The whole "take time for yourself, do what YOU want to do" and all of that. What I want to do is - nothing. There is nothing that I want to do. But I don't want to do nothing. The big fat irony of my depression. And it's even harder to get myself to do stuff when I'm by myself. I just can't get enough motivation, and I just sit there and think "oh forget it, it probably isn't even worth it anyway." Sometimes I try to do these things that are nice for myself, like I took a bath about a month ago because it's one of those things you always hear about being such a treat to yourself. Well, I found it to be incredibly boring. I was just laying there in the tub, like "well this sucks". At least it killed some time, though.

I don't have ANY plans for this upcoming weekend either. At least for the past few weekends I've had at least a little something planned. I don't know what I'll do. This is really sad, but I think that I might actually drive about 30 minutes to this place where I know there is a Taco Bell and right next to it a Dairy Queen, and get a 7-layer burrito and then ice cream. For some reason, there aren't many of either of those places around here. And doing something like that is about all I can handle. I'd like to do more interesting things, go to cool places (especially because I am new to this state and I've been meaning to see the stuff here), but it's just too much for me.

Unpacking is hard. (so is packing for that matter). I always take a long time to unpack and settle in. I've lived at my place now since January, and still there is some disorder with where certain things should go, etc. I have this candle fixture that I've been meaning to hang on the wall for months, but still haven't done it. It's not even because I don't want to be there exactly. I don't know what it is.

I thought the thing you said a while ago about eating with the same plastic fork was funny. I can totally see myself doing that! But maybe if you just unpack a little bit at a time... You know, just like one bag/box per day or something. You know, set little goals.

Have you tried to talk to your new neighbors at all? At least maybe they could be someone to chat with now and then, if not the best friends ever!

> What are your roommates like? When did you move in with them?
>
> Roommates can be so difficult, but on the other hand you have built in company when you're getting along.

Yeah, things didn't end so well with my last roomates, especially of course the one who is still in the area. I really don't know what happened with them, because I had felt for several months that everything was going so well. Sometimes in the past, well, once actually, it was really great to have roomates because we were all friends and it was fun and good. I'd really like to have roomates like that again, or at least roomates who I really enjoy. The hardest part for me seems to be the feeling comfortable aspect, which is odd because even though I am kinda shy with people especially at first, usually I can end up feeling pretty comfortable after a while, with enough exposure.

But, my new roomates are one guy and one girl. The guy is about to start his master's degree in comparative lit. The girl works on campus like me (also in research - hers sounds really interesting to me actually). He just moved down here and isn't familiar with the area, but does have a few friends here. The girl has been here for a few years and seems to have plenty of friends and possibly a boyfriend (she hasn't really come out and said that he's her boyfriend, but he calls a lot, and it just seems like he must be). Anyways, they both seem very nice and cool (although, I find myself thinking that maybe they are "too cool" and will think I'm a loser or something, especially because I have no life and I feel like a very boring person sometimes).

It's been a couple of weeks. We have a whole year, at least! I try not to, but I do always find myself wishing that they won't be around and wantting to retreat into my room - so ironic, since I'm so lonely. But it is so much easier to just be alone than to have to put forth the effort of trying to get to know someone. Just the awkwardness. I'm really hoping that will eventually dissipate, because it can be really great to have people right there to chat with and laugh with and stuff.

-What I want to do is - nothing.-

Oh God that bath story made me laugh, yesac. I feel the same way! We had a really nice jacuzzi tub (when I lived with my ex) and I hardly ever used it. And when I did use it I liked it for about 3 minutes and then I was bored. Of course now I'd love to have that tub...

I discovered I've made the connection that if I'm nice to the neighbors they're going to think it's fine to be really noisy and smoke all the time. Now that I've put it together I can re-think that logic. I haven't been not nice; in fact I've never actually met them. But I think I've been avoiding meeting them. If the walls weren't paper thin I wouldn't care so much.

Parnate gave me such headaches, but I didn't give it as solid of a try as you have. Good for you for sticking it out this long.

What state are you from?

Leaving for work--I'll check back in a few hours.

Ok, I'm gonna try and settle in. I don't mean to sound like I'm better than anyone here-- in fact I think I feel bad because I've deduced that this is my plight in life.

Well, if you can't beat 'em (literally, if I can't beat them)...

You're funny jimi. Keep telling me...all the time! It's working, I haven't called so far!

Do you play guitar with your left hand?
