[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2407996, member: 493719"] As said [USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER] ..a touching read Clear how much it worries you, but would I be right in saying the councelling had helped, somewhat..a reason for some optimism I thought. While not the same as you, I too felt that moment of not being "Me". Mine was sometime after DX for T2D.(2018) I never got to the bottom of it, however the councelling itself, did help draw out some conflict I thought I had resolved internally, but clearly hadn't. What I found most helpful, though it was after I'd had some time to accept, the one on one therapy, hadn't given me and probably could never give me the answers I sought, So some acceptance of that had crept in, was BCT. BCT...it gave me TOOLS to use when I got too anxious I'm more a practical man, and lovely as the chars were, I just wanted get on and "FIX" the problem . So having a tool to assist worked best for me When I got episodes, the ideas I was given helped reduce them to manageable levels. Not perfect, but so much better then I was. During my waiting times for therapy appointments, I took it into my head to decorate a small wall by one of our windows. It was a dark area lacking light I thought. I had two old mirrors, one fitted into the space, the other was too large for the space, so i broke it and used as a mosaic, to reflect light back into the room, for a section Wife liked the work, jokingly suggested we name it, as all great art gets named. LoL.:hilarious::hilarious: Didn't like that I called it "ME" Because it reflects (;)) how I now feel mentally Mainly unbroken, but with areas that while still functional, NOT as before. Mine I believe was related to the T2D, and the anxiety levels went through the roof for me So "not me" as you so rightly put it. I hope yours can be resolved with a reduction in meds or effectively finding methods to help lower that anxious state. A long reply, hopefully adding that your not alone, and there can be light at the end of the tunnel for the anxiety side of things I hope you get the right help to get you to yours :) [/QUOTE]
