I went to see a therapist for a year and a half, and it was one of the best things ever for me. I didn't take meds at the time (that was 5 years ago) but I am now at the point where I've become too tired to handle it on my own. The thing that convinced me was my dr saying I might need them for a few years, but eventually may feel good enough to get off of them. The reality is, my quality of life was not good, and we are here to be happy, so I'm trying something new. I spent years avoiding meds because I didn't think it would help, and because I saw it as poison, but it's not any better to constantly be stressed. That is just as harmful, if not more, for your body. I know how you feel! :(
