    Wow, what a nice bunch you lot are here, it's not what you get in Discussion Time or the Benefits board is it:eek: . Thanks for your replies and I feel a bit more reassured by the replies about the psychiatrist,I presume it is only one visit to see them, rather than going to see them several times. Well, the psychotherapy is good but realistically I'm not sure I would be in such a cr*p place if I hadn't had it, BUT it has got to the point where I am very appreciative of the time the therapist gives to me (it's a woman), I see her twice a week and without it I'm sure I would have killed myself by now. I picked up the antidepressants today and will start them tomorrow, I've resisted them so far but even I think I need some help!

    Sorry if I sound like a drama queen, really I'm not :o
    Hi Septemberblues, nice to meet you. I don't think you sound at all like a drama queen, you're ought to hear me on a bad day... :o Glad you're getting the help you need, its better to take it now than wait until you have a complete breakdown and have the choice taken away from you... Why does that sound so depressing, I don't mean to be... Anyway, hi :)

    Xx

    I hope you start to feel the benefit of the medication soon.

    Do you feel like you can open up to your therapist or do you still keep a little back?

    I see my psychiatrist every 2 months.
