The money for counseling is worth it. You are worth it. It is not a waste, any more than a visit to a regular doctor is a waste.
How fortunate you are to not have the side effects. The worst side effect I have is shaking hands but it doesn't bother me unless I get tired. Ironically enough I'm tired now and I have 34 buttons to sew onto four garments and I want to finish tonight.
Is there any way you can draw your feelings if you can't find the words for them? My new psychaitrist assigned me to do that and it helps. From drawing how I'd like to disappear to how much the noise of a big city intimidated me. I'm a gosh awful artist, the noise of the city was a stick figure with yellow hair holding her hands over her ears with all of the tall buildings looming and a cut away view of the subway because I could hear/feel that too.
