Deepfried,

No apologies necessary. We all give and take around here so please don't feel bad about posting.

I am sorry that your T isn't understanding your point of view. In my experience with SSRI's and other AD drugs, I tend not to feel a darn thing so I can't say if the fact that you are able to feel is a sign of the drugs not working or not. One reason that I am not using the AD drugs right now (aside from not really being depressed) is that I feel numb on them and I really don't think that T would be very productive if I were totally numb. I think it is your body and should be your choice. If you feel like the meds are doing what you need then she needs to back off. I guess I'm not clear on why she doesn't seem to want you to feel or explore your feelings. If the ED treatment and your T seem to be at odds with each other then I am concerned about how you are to progress with these mixed messages.

I think what you have said here about feeling like even your T expects you to give up is so important. Would you be willing to tell her that? Perhaps write all of this down if you don't feel like you could get it all out verbally.

I am probably not much help, but it sounds like everyone needs to be on the same page and they need to respect that you know yourself better than anyone else.

Hi, Deepfried, and welcome to the forum...I think you need to feel free to post as much or as little as you are comfortable with...that is the nature of this forum, and what we try to do for eachother, here! So, no apologies neccessary! I am sorry that it seems your T doesn't want you to feel...that does seem counterproductive if it is true. I hope so much you will be able to work it out with your T.

Take care,

BB

DeepFried Please feel free to write anytime here. My thought about your T is this.....If you are really feeling this much about it, maybe you should look at a T that is involved with your other people already. It seems to me that your t has a different road scheduled for you and your 2 t's are going head to head. Don't give up ok?
