I just dread it. Last sum...I think you are right. I just dread it. Last summer I spent most of 3 months mourning the loss of so many physical parts of my life. Mourning the loss of "me" is even scarier. I keep telling my doctor that it isn't so much that I'm afraid of being at this point where there are so few treatment options, as it is that I am here NOW. I know new meds will come out and that one of them will eventually work. It's not a new idea that I'd get to this point. I did have a timeline in my head though that I had somehow contrived and it did not include this point in time as where things crumbled. It's a big adjustment.<BR/><BR/>But I'll get there.Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01085642883987294862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21050713.post-53722964774736967672007-07-29T17:12:00.000-04:002007-07-29T17:12:00.000-04:00I had to do a lot of grieving with one of my thera...I had to do a lot of grieving with one of my therapists, over all that I had lost. Fortunately, she understood, and told me, that I had a lot to grieve about. At the time I had just decided to give up the fight on getting my PhD, and a life as a research scientist. I had lost all my friends, my work, my life. Even when I found meds that started to work, I still had to grieve for quite a bit before I was able to start building back a life. I think you have a lot of grieving to do. But then life can go on.Jean Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826037279061710386noreply@blogger.com
