I Need Words of Encouragement And Compassion
(((((((Wendy))))))
Speaking out is a huge step in advocating for yourself.
Get a new PCP, one who listens and takes CARE of you. I finally did just that and it has been amazing!
Maybe a new therapist, too. If there is no longer communication it is piling more upset on top of upset.
Speak out and speak up for you.
You list great tools. Use them for you!

Oh golly... My heart breaks for you my friend. I've been in "that place" and it is miserable. When I thought I needed my friends and family to help me get to a better place, I got "you're really not very fun to be around anymore, that's why we are staying away."
The sad reality is that most people not only just don't know how to help - they simply aren't equipped to help.
If your PCP and your therapist (or even your other half) aren't cutting the mustard... FIRE THEM! There are amazing doctors/therapists out there that are eager to help you find the answers you need.
You may have to go through several trial runs to find the keepers - but know those trial runs are worth it. YOU are worth it. Once you find the right doctor/therapist you may have to go through several trial runs to get your meds adjusted just right - but remember those trial runs are worth it too! YOU are worth it - you ARE!!!!!
You might also look into a Celebrate Recovery program in your area. Life is hard. You have been through some pretty impressive life events. You are clearly a survivor and are living to tell about it - that friend is very worthy of celebrating!!!
Reaching out on OH was a brilliant choice made by a brilliant woman. One foot in front of the other today. (Hang in there and keep us posted!)

Congratulations on being whole enough to ask for what you need. Do I think less of you? Quite the opposite. While i have nothing new to add to what others have already said, I did want you to know that I am sending healing thoughts your way and you were heard and understood. Sometimes just knowing that makes me feel a bit better. I hope it will you too.
