Thanks Manuel Hong... I actually just talked to my group counselors about setting up 1-on-1 therapy, and they're looking around for a good person to refer me to. At this rate I'll be going to both group AND individual counseling each week... I should be fixed in no time.
(I know that it's not about being "fixed," it's a long process of slow change... but I still find it amusing that I am going to be in therapy double-time now).
I agree that drugs should be the last resort. But I also just feel really out of control of my moods sometimes, and I do not want to chalk it up to being "female" (see my threads in "Coming Together" forum!). I've seen a lot of people who had very strong mood swings and then go on meds and actually be stable... so that's why I was wondering if I was missing something up there (chemical imbalance). I want to be healthy and less imbalanced and am working as hard as I can towards that goal... but yeah, for now I think meds are not part of the solution for me.
