[QUOTE="Steely, post: 230417, member: 3301"] gvc, I have tried a tricyclic many moons ago - I guess I am not sure if it worked or not - it was so long ago. I am very hesitant about medications, because of the episode when I was 16, where I was suicidal, and my parents put me in a lock down psychiatric ward for 6 months. That place has forever haunted me for many, many reasons - one of which was then giving me more medications than an elephant. Haldol, Stellazine, Melaril - hard core medications for a kiddo that was just suicidal. Janet........Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about. Too scared to even write about it. I am so sorry you as well are going through this. It really, really stinks. I talked to my counselor today, and she suggested the possibility of going away for a month to get intensive trauma counseling in this program that NM offers. I don't know if I can afford it - but it does seem intriguing. I have not successfully processed the last year of trauma; my dad's illness, H's death, or difficult child leaving (not to mention about a zillion other things before this past year) - and that wad of trauma just keeps getting buried deeper and deeper - as I try to survive. I don't know. I need something. I do feel as if I am coming to an intersection in life that will augment my destiny forever. I can feel it coming. [/QUOTE]
