Hi Gtchamp, Tracey
Glad to hear back from you though, from what you say, things have been a little rough lately.
I was in group therapy a while ago before I was properly diagnosed and although the therapy was helpful in regards to my troubled childhood and I gained some insight into how I tick, the part of me that has to do with brain chemistry really took a hit as you have been finding.
I think counselling that focuses on the here and now, how you are coping would be helpful. I think it's probably better to let the past go until you regain equilibrium. For me, talking about the past is a trigger.
I hope you will be able to work with your pdoc re your medication. For myself medication trumps therapy every time but, to be fair, everyone is different.
Let us know how you make out with the doctor.
