>>I have been here so many times over the years with crashing and having to move back home. It is just such a disappointment. I keep trying to see it as a setback and not a failure but it just feels like such a failure. I had so much hope for a new life free of this demon. It just didn't happen and then I question so much what I could have done differently to avert this "setback". <<
Dear lepus
I do not see your moving back home to the comfort and care of your family as a "setback" or a "failure". I think that it is a very north american concept that for one to be deemed "succesful" one has to shed all dependancy and live independently and individually. I think its great that you are going home again (ie. if its a plesaant place for you to be) and that you will share some time with your parents (who arent getting any younger). And, you will be surrounded by the people who love you and care for you and it will give you little cocoon for you to heal again and face all those forces that you feel have made you so weak.
Think of it as a "set-forward" and that perhaps this time instead of feeling like a loser, you will feel lucky, blessed and happy to have a family and a home to share and that its no crime to enjoy what you have and it certainly no crime to be cared for and loved when you most need it, when you are down and weary.
I know its hard as hell to fight what you suffer but meds alone are not your solution. Perhaps a total soul make-over mixed with your meds might help. Just a suggestion.
I had tears in my eyes when i read your words (even though i dont know you at all), which means that you have the power to touch people and express yourself.
My best wishes for some relief go out to you, along with a reminder that you are not alone...your soul is always there for you (and we are here for you too).
