Hi Joanna...I can't offer any wisdom on this as I'm feeling really down myself...but maybe it will help if you know you'r enot alone.
I'm in my early 20's and I just can't see myself making it to 30 even...Lately I've started considering meds (I am currently not on any) but then reading these posts I am feeling more and more confident that even though it gets really bad ...that I would be worse off if I took them...

Anyway...yesterday in therapy I heard firecrackers and had "an episode"...not pleasent...now wants me to work on controlling dissociation...
