This past year was a train wreck for me. My Dr told me he could medicate me into not noticing the hellish nature of the year. OR he could let me see if I could take it and get through it, as the medication would not sort through the problem, just numb me up so that I wouldnt feel it. I took the harder road and dealt with it day by day. It was horrible, but I kept moving instead of treading water in the muck someone else cast me into. There were times when the oblivion of anti-depressants called like a siren song of relief. But I trusted my Drs advice. I am dirty and scarred up now, but I am not still waiting for the other shoe to drop once I get off meds. And scars fade and even the worst stains can be cleaned from your soul and heart with time. I am grateful for a Dr that was willing to tell me the truth. I trust my Dr and always have, but this is proof that he tries to actually help me instead of just getting me out the door and feeling better. I am actually better now and the bulk of this mess is behind me. So a shout out to Drs that can go off script and tell you the truth, even when the truth is that they cant actually do anything that your body cant and you just have to heal up on your own. Our bodies and minds are miracles of creation and they can handle most of what life hits us with if you allow it to rest and work their magic. (In some cases, of course, meds are an essential part of recovery and certainly should be considered and accepted if you and your Dr think that will serve you best. But some things arent going to go away with a pill and the sooner you face the pain, the sooner you can pass through it to the other side, recovery.)
