Im new here and new to being sick (dont even know whats wrong with me yet)Been in Therapy twice a week for a month and just realizing that i will not be too functional if i continue. I can put it all back now before its too late and continue to self medicate with the bottle and still be responsible and maybe face it at a later time. You see i have a husband and 3 kids and a business to run. It will all fall apart very quickly as i run the business myself and it is our main source of income. My husband has a part time job but it doesnt pay the bills. He cant run the business at all. It just hit me how disabling this is going to be for me if i go through with it. I have already been dropping accounts because i am so obsessed with therapy and i cant afford to do that right now.
So do i leave it in or get it out with the risk of becoming financially ruined?
Any thoughts at all are desperately needed.
Thank you all.

Only you can answer that for sure.
But my opinion is that putting it back and self medicating will backfire in a bigger way later.
It did for me. I didn't face it until I *was* non-functional and I think that is probably contributing to how long it has taken to begin to get back.

Does it have to be an all or none proposition? Is there a way to do both....continue to do therapy possibly on a less intense level and keep the business going. If your illness is dangeroulsly acute, would seeing a pdoc and trying some meds to hopefully ease things a bit be an altenative?
Peace

I know your both right and i am not making sense because i am wiggin right now. I have never felt like this before and i dont know what to expect but i believe its going to get a lot worse before it gets better and thats the part thats wiggin me. I am pushing myself into this too quickly because i am impatient ( is it over yet?). I am digging up the past so fast because i am obsessed with healing right NOW. and i guess it doesnt work like that huh? I had no memory of it for 30 years and now i just want it all out of the by 4pm today. I am really afraid of the pain that i havent bought to the surface yet> I guess its the unknown thats freaks me into believing that i will fall apart. Not going to make any decision today though because i dont believe i am in my right mind at the moment.
