I take Sertraline, which does help (but doesn’t cure); and I have had several rounds of therapy. It’s an ongoing battle though, sometimes I am better than others. And I find this site very helpful too (I was even able to sell it to my therapist as a good idea!!).
So you had a mother in law intervention! Ouch! Sounds like she has your best interests at heart though - and family support is SO important.
Re your tenderness- so so normal. I find tender places all the time!
