Yes I am currently in cognitive behavioral therapy, and am definitely going to continue with it. The majority of my problems lie in the way I react to different things that come up. I tend to scare myself, then my anxiety spirals out of control.
I had a scary thought a few days ago about harming our children (even though I know that I would never even dream of doing so!!!). It just scared the hell out of me - how could I have a thought like that?! I know that everyone has odd thoughts from time to time, but I really blew it out of proportion, and turned it into something that it isn't. I'm aware that I would never actually act on anything like that, but I'm having a bitch of a time getting it out of my mind now, so it's freaking me out even more.
I also went to therapy while I was on my anti-depressants, but thought that I was at the point where I would be able to cope without. I KNOW I can. I just think I'm not being diligent enough in using my coping methods. I really don't want to have to rely on a drug. I am very frustrated.
I really have no frame of reference on this, but I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you.
