Read your post…am confused. You are not thinking clearly…the docs are right about that. But is it because you are being overwhelmed by your emotions?
A psych once explained it to me thus:
Everyone has a logical mind and an emotional mind. Most folks also have a wise mind. Some like me do not. So I am either all emotional…or all logical. Neither one of these is good. Normally your wise mind takes from both minds and comes up with some kind of balance…normally. All you really need to do is learn to understand and control your emotions…learn to use your “wise” mind, cuz right now your emotions are controlling you. I am sure that you are an extremely emotionally sensitive person…else you wouldn’t be overwhelmed.
Why do some of us not naturally develop this “wise” mind? Some of us are simply “too” sensitive, others have been damaged, abused or even spoiled. Some of us are victims of trauma…where the logical mind can’t make sense of shit…so the emotional mind takes over…not good…but a survival skill for sure. Problem is…once you are out of the trauma…or whatever…or become an adult…you really haven’t finished fully developing your “wise” mind.
So…all you have to do is learn to control your own thoughts and feelings…and in some cases…change them. A therapist can def help with this…but drugs only work in the short term…they are not a cure. I actually kinda hate the psych drugs for the most part…people then feel a little better…and forget to do the work.
Should be simple eh? hahahahaha Nope…but it is possible. 🙂

I can relate to this…
Im,
Have we truly been so unkind to you that you’d wish to leave us? We liked talking to you a lot; don’t you like talking to us?
Talking to you guys makes me feel like I’m not alone, but yet I still wanna be. I feel like leaving this place is the only choice I have.
Im,
But we like having you here. Don’t leave us; we like talking to you. Just talk to us, it’s fine 🙂
