She's a cavoodle @Shaz51. Slowing down in her latter years but wonderful company all the same.

That's the dilemma with meds @Spookytookims and @Shaz51. Sometimes it's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't. Deciding which is the lesser of the two evils and getting the type and dosage right is a lottery. Maybe one day it will be a lot simpler; perhaps a blood test will be all that is needed. I remember when my mother was on blood thinners. She had constant blood tests throughout until she was put on a different drug.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if mental illnesses were easily treatable. There's so much we don't know about the human body let alone the mind.

@soul yeah, I should have added:- emotions are based on chemical release, so could also be a combination of med quantities in there too, because they are all about manipulating the chemical release to "play" with emotions.

Wow @Former-Member - Mr Darcy has really been through the wringer and you too no doubt. Fifteen trials in how long a period? The frustrating part must be to get the meds right and then things can change anyway. What is the longest time he has been good on the one combination?

I started reading that article you posted on grief. It's quite long so I am still working my way through it.

Somewhat off topic, it got me thinking about something my therapist mentioned the other week. In my case, I am no longer with my BPD partner due to his violent tendencies but I am still experiencing grief from the loss of that relationship as it wasn't all bad. In fact the good stuff was amazingly wonderful. It's just that the bad stuff was the complete opposite. If the breakup had been through death, there would have been a gathering around and support from family and friends. The problems I had been facing were hidden and we had not socialised with others in my circle so it's a whole different scenario. I even received the comment that perhaps I didn't give it a good enough try.

my Mr Darcy is up to his 15th med trial-- wow @Former-Member sending you and Mr @Former-Member, hugs
