Thanks Cida for your advice, i was in theraphy for 11 years, then i change to another psychologys for almost 1 or 2 years and now, i have 4-5 years with a psychiatryst (therapyst) the first 2-3 years once a week, now twice a week so i guess i did and do more that asking strangers online.
By the way, isnt this and another forums to talk and ask, and rant?
Yes, it is. We are not here to dispense advice on medication. At least, that is not something I am comfortable doing since I didn't go to med school.
It sounds like you have done well until recently - joining meetup, playing a band, going to church, getting out a few nights a week - these are very good things.
You mention no family nearby. Have you recently been displaced from them? Has anything changed with regards to your demographics or your family?
I agree. It's not fashionable to want a SO badly but it's a real human need.
Exactly. Ironically, so many of the people that have asked me why I want a partner are folks who have been married for years. Well, if marriage is so awful and unnecessary, why have they been married for 20 years, lol!
Many stay in marriages out of necessity. I'm sure there are more unhappy marriages than good ones. I was there once and would never try that again. But everyone needs to try it once I guess . I know some folks who have never married and have good lives.
Marriage is more than a "word" it's a sentence for so many. Reading about the women in Iceland in particular and how they choose to have children/child and no need for marriage.
Many lead quite lives of desperation in marriage and so many are trapped. Familarity breeds contempt. So the grass is not always greener over there. I guess there are good marriages but I haven't seen many and personally I don't want to take care of anyone else as taking care of me is a huge job.
So some things to think about. Also the more we have in our lives people wise the more stress, more layers of stress....husband, children, houses, bills, lack of money etc. Those who have not gone there have no clue about it.

I hate to say it but you said it yourself. You have been on psychotropic medication for the past 15 years. Reality has had itself filtered through medication, so that you don't really know what reality is.
IMO, you need to find a physician and a counselor who will not put you on more medication, but find a way for you to cope with life, WITH LESS or WITHOUT MEDICATION. Then you can finally discover what living is all about.
I agree with you, but i dont know how else can i do. Thanks for write me and for care about me.
I wonder if the folks here bashing AD's have actually been on them? While they are overprescribed, they can be life savers for some people.
I am not aware of any data that shows harm from long term use, and would be curious to see some. However, I do believe they should be a last resort, and they are by no means a panacea.

I mentioned in one of your other posts that I was on a merry go round for 10 yrs of various A/D's from 1991-2002...and just KNEW there was a better answer. True, I'm not a fan of the drugs but it takes work and determination to feel better. Talk therapy often is needed. Our bodies are so complex and so much needs to be addressed. Even seeing other doctors like naturopaths or integrative MD's. Conventional MD's will continue to hand out A/D's, that is there business.
I am sorry that you feel lonely. You can feel lonely with a spouse, too, if you pick the wrong one. I get lonely too, but it is usually around Christmas and New Years. I see the posts on Facebook where everyone seems like they have a happy family, but who knows what is really going on. For me, I just have to prepare for it and remind myself why I have made certain decisions. Do you think something like Skype would help you feel closer to your family?
