So, the latest few things in my life which are very positive and moving are my new therapies and outlook on life due to them. ....i started with a new phsycologist and psychiatrist as well outa need recently. I had no choice and it turned out to be just what i needed. The woman that does my counciling is very light and airy and had an approach that a lot of people might have a hard time with....i find it refreshing and relaxing. She makes me feel relaxed and comforted. I have been feeling so scared in my life and so in need of confort....yes in pain and yes suffering but there are so many emotional issues going on in my life that don't have to do with my own physical problems and have to do with my husband that my emotions are running ragged all the time. My pain is at a high and my depression is consuming me. When I go to see my counciler she runs me through what has happend new in the last week for me. What is on my mind. She will do a meditation for me if I need it. She gives great advice about how to deal with situations in my life ---she is the first counciler to do that for me! She has many helpful tools for me to take with me when i leave so I am not just getting help when i am there. I love her relaxation CD and I usually hate those.
The man who does my meds is hard to read. I am not sure what I think of him yet. His first decision to up my medication has been a good one so far. The effexor is helping even though it does have some side effects already that are not so welcome. I also go to a support group through him that, so far, seams like it might help. It teaches tools that through "mindfulness" will bring ways to deal with life to live healthier. I look forward to learning more. I have only been to one session.
My life, after on only several weeks of seeing my counciler is already seaming more barable because i can see answers i have never considered and am living my life in a different way than before. I am surprising myself with how i can control my temper when i am in pain and when my husband is hard to deal with how i can find good answers to his suffering....how i am able to come up with them now with these tools is really beyond me.
thanks to her.

I do wish I could find such a person to talk to - am so glad to hear that all's falling into place for you my dear. I'm told the only shrink in this State with spaces in his diary is the one in the Jail - so I might have to commit a misdemeanor to get into the clink, & get help. BOTH my d.'s are getting to me - they only phone when they have health problems - & right now, both do. Younger tested Positive for codiene at work (she's got a serious Gynae problem, & is trying to carry on) - even tho' she told them, & isn't working underground any more. elder has a plantar Wart on sole of foot, but is sutre it is a corn. I told her to get her Swollen Belly checked out for HepC. She actually heard me this time, and started getting all worried (after 18 years!) I hope her Doc. finally picks up on it. She's not pregnant, as the Prisoner is impotent! Oh dear - I must get away from these two.
So glad you have finally found the help you needed my dear - Fond regards, JaneD.
