Hi Iris,
I'm not in therapy.I've been seeing a psychologist every few months, but at the beginning I actually checked myself into a clinic and I was there for about a week.
I remember pacing the house all anxious and panicky knowing that something was wrong but not knowing what.
Thats when I went to the clinic for a week.I was embarressed at first but then thought bugger everyone if they think anything, and in hindsight nobody really cared anyway.They were just worried.I remember doctors saying that I'd get better and I didn't beleive them, but you do get better.
All I did was sleep and then I had 3 months off before returning to work.The tablets definately helped me but now that I'm stronger I have to get of them.
