Input about what?

No comment from me either.
About your experiences with the symptoms as well as the āmedicationsā (for ābetterā and for āworseā).
I make no argument with meds, notmoses. Havenāt for years.
Appropriately dosed and correctly rxād meds + stress reduction via social worker support and expertise + CBTs and/or MBCTs = a very good chance of symptom reduction and a much better quality of life. Seen it far more than a thousand times since 1987.

Iāve been on the same med for 8 years and have a therapist I see every month. Are you hinting that I need a change? I donāt know what your point is.
What is the biggest space - distance or time? I can travel back to a place but I canāt travel back in time. Let it go, move forward, look ahead.
No hints, butā¦ are you sure thatās a therapist? (Or is she or he a psychiatric social worker managing your case?) Are you doing anything programmatic? Do you get any formal skills training? Iāve been in this racket for 28 years. I donāt think talking to someone for 50 minutes once a month is ātherapy.ā
And frankly, itās beginning to be my sense here on this forum that most of the people who are posting here donāt know from any actual experience with it what real psychotherapy isā¦ because theyāre not getting any from these ātherapists.ā
Are you doing anything at all like the stuff described at these web pages?

ā¦seems to me that all we want to do is to give our emotions higher cause, and to our suffer sacred purpose.
But when you look at it from the perspective of a sober passerby ā¦itās just hilariously all-the-same.

I had a lot of psychotherapy when I was 20. I am now 71. Donāt bother me with wondering about my judgment. How old are you?

I thought it might be a problem when this thread was sort of hijacked.

22 years old. 22.
NO ONE here gets it like this young woman.
(Sorry if you feel insulted, but TFB. Because itās the truth.) (And yes, I am in the throes of a very nasty bout of the ātherapeutic disgustā that hits us when we are once again reminded of how useless it sometimes is to come to work.)
Is there actually such a thing? Or is that some idea someone made up to defend their narcissistic imperatives? Because, unless I am mistaken, this is a forum where everyone gets to say whatever they want (so long as itās not meant to do others harm), even if itās as plain SELF-destructive as so much of the ā ā ā ā posted here is.
Please relax @notmoses. I donāt think we always need your overarching view and I donāt agree with half your judgments on people on this forum so why should you respect the original poster?

Which is your right, because thatās a rule of this Game. We get to say what we feel we need to say. And we take the risk of exposing ourselves to criticism for so doing. But, I donāt need to agree with half your judgments or those of anyone else here, either. And I see soooooo much written that does the same sort of injury to others that was done to us by the ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā we were told as children than flipped out genetic switches enough to get us here.
Itās not inate rather itās a series of being too much alike to change.
