Reoccurring Major Depressive Disorder & PTSD
Probably a lot of my teens
Time in navy - yep - 2-3 sessions with medical - PTSD diagnosis
Iceland - untreated
D.C. - untreated
Bahrain - happy for the most part - wasband cheating during TAD orders
Japan - treated with medication (Zoloft) and some good some bad therapy - wasband no longer hiding his cheating
Texas 21 year span
year 1 - medication continues but no therapy/self weaned off (I don’t remember much about our first year)
year 2 & 3 - divorce & children go for therapy
Year 4 back for treatment-medication (lexipro) and given therapy, maybe 8-10 sessions
weaned self off again because I know what the fuck I’m doing 🙄
so much crying and back on Zoloft I go and given 3 whole therapy sessions spaced 6 weeks apart
you guessed it, I wean myself off medication because I’m so smart
here we go again. I freak out the clinic doctors during regular exam. They ask if I can keep myself safe while waiting for meds and therapy. I lie as per my usual and say I can hang on but I really should have been locked away someplace safe for this one. Just for a bit anyway. I’m put on BuPROPion this time plus given about 10 months of weekly therapy sessions. So much weeping.
Texas - now - still taking medication with no genius plans to wean myself off. Covid fucked up my eating, my exercise regimen, and any ability or desire I had to socialize, which is the one thing I have difficulty with.
