I'm so glad that you did, Laura. I'd been thinking about you for a few days, but hoping that 'no news is good news', I didn't want to say something like,... "hey, aren't you needing to 'talk' or anything?" Cold turkey? So, the Psych wants to see the 'real you', without the meds covering up any symptoms? That sounds like a good approach to me. He/she probably wants to do his/her own assessment, starting with a 'clean slate' so that everything shows up clearly. Stay with it, as this sounds like a person who just wants to 'get it right' for you this time.

It makes me smile that you have a boyfriend and are happy. That's what I want for you. Only do remember this, please,... if for any reason, at any time, he looses interest or wanders off, remember that there will be someone who will see you for the caring, lovely girl that you are. I want your happiness to go on and on. And maybe this time, he will be the 'right one'. - jus'
