I'm so glad you called your dr. and got help! That is evidence of your healing, even though it probably felt crappy as hell when it was going on. You may have heard this before, but I want to remind you that just about everyone slips back into old behaviors (they are usually the most comfortable for us, even tho they may be harmful). Until we have more experience under our belts, and new behaviors to replace the old, and maybe meds that help stabilize us, we sort of go back and forth--and over time, more forth than back.
You went a good long time doing well, so I'm wondering if there was an event, or maybe the holidays that made you more upset or anxious. If so, making a plan on how to handle things might help.
Anyway, please keep in touch with your docs, and get help regularly (therapy, meds, whatever), because regular help can go a long way to keep us headed in a good direction. Don't wait til you are in crisis.
Take good care, and write when you want to! We'll be here...
Shar
