I know that some of you in the past has asked me if i was seeing a therapist. and i would like to say that yes i am and have been since december for a different reason besides chronic pain. I actually lost my mom to an unknown autoimmune disorder when i was 15 and even though i am 23 now i have been having problems with it since we were planning for my wedding two years ago then being this hurt and how sick i was i just missed her so much. she was always the one to be there for me no matter what. now doesnt only my family live 1000 miles away but they know have not seen me since i have been ill. they all want to judge and sit there and go is it what mom had? when really it isnt and i know it isnt. but none the less it is hard. i did talk to my counselor yesterday and we both agree that being on prozac may help with the bad pain that i get with my cycle but also with the downs that i feel during that time and when i am hurting. i know that this is not the place to talk about my mom i do not talk about it a lot with other people but i was wondering if there was anyone else who has ever taken antidepressants and how they worked for them and there pain. thanks guys this for me is hard to talk about big stigmas in my family and they can be very nasty. im actually for my counseling not to talk to them anymore about my meds or how i am doing. this is tough since i tell them basically everything.
