themselves.Good point :-)
>It seems to me a good group therapist should *ask* about your own agenda and your own feelings about medications.
Yes, but I feel like I should've been clearer. The thing is, that I'm not all clear on the matter. I am reluctant to give up all the meds, but maybe that's unnecessary hesitation.
> Now, if it is a recurring thing for you to talk about disliking medications and feeling pressured by your pdoc, that is a different matter. She is then responding to your own statement of feelings.
My pdoc has been tapering down the meds at my request.
I do feel an influence by both my pdoc and t regarding meds, in the pro med direction, but I know there's no ill intent there.> But you know, the important thing is never what others think about something that really affects only yourself. It's perfectly ok to let someone know you understand their feelings about something, and appreciate their concern, and will certainly consider their words. But that you'll do what you think is best for yourself and you'd appreciate it if they would respect that.
Yeah, I think I'll have to clarify.
> For myself, I like the idea of balance. I try to take as few medications as I can to be stable.
I like that idea.
Thanks, Dinah :-)
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
