dancebug,

you are not back at square one!!! just think about it like you took a wrong turn! i was told when i first started taking meds for depression that 4 to 6 months after you stopped, you were likely to feel another crash. my doctor said that it doesn't last long, but that it does happen to most people who stop taking the meds. if you get through this "down" period, you will be able to make it back to the top!

the other thing is that if at all possible...avoid your health center! honestly, i had the WORST experiences there! once, i went in bc i had a uti, but the doctor told me that there was nothing wrong with me and that i had sex and was lying about it. i was 20, if i was having sex, why would i lie. she did a urine sample anyway (just to make me feel better) and i heard her and the nurse arguing outside my door about the results. she came in and said, i am giving you antibiotics, but i dont believe you need them. i could have punched her! and another time i went bc every person i lived with had bronchitis and i had the exact same symptoms. she insisted that there was nothing wrong with me, so i went home to my primary care doctor and i was bordering on pnemonia! he was going to call the campus to discuss her inaccurate medical advise! after those two incidents, i went to the emergency room for everything!!! it cost an arm and a leg, but it was better bc i was actually treated for what was wrong with me! long story short...perhaps your therapist could reccommend someone near your school! your health insurance should cover it even if you are out of state!

is there anyone on your exec board that you feel closer to? maybe you could talk to someone besides the archon who would be able to help you. or at least she may be able to point you in the right direction.

best of luck and if you would like to have someone to talk to, you can feel free to pm me.
