Oh, @DJMasters thank you for your note.
Physically, I feel very alone, but know I have my forumite family. I'm just so so upset and have been for days. I'm tired of it, but have no choice but to keep trying, as tough as it is.

Hey @WIP, I'm sorry to hear things are so tough right now. I'm hearing you're exhausted but going to keep trying. I know a lot of members can relate to that at one time or another, we're sitting with you 🌻

@WIP No magic wand here S orry! Self-compassion is 'all the rage' and I've found it can help but that's really something we have to offer ourselves ... and then there's also knowing that you're not struggling on your own & your suffering may be unique but it is pretty universal on one form or another. Did anything change as a result of last week's pdoc appointment or it it full steam ahead with baseline testing for future potential sideffects then increasing dosage?
💡We can hold hope for improvement if you can't carry that expectation yourself at present. Take care & if you feel up to it please keep in touch

I'm not very good at self compassion, but an expert at self sabotage & criticism @Sam3
I've tagged you on my thread from last night where you can catch up with what's been going on, if you wish. Short story, I didn't cope very well Father's Day & used that grief to bring up everything that's happened in the past 18months.
Anyway, thanks for your hope - I'm all outta that at the moment. x
