I just had an episode that I still don't quite know what it is, but I think it was more on the manic side of things. I was able to talk to my therapist several times and he made it clear that I could call him 24/7. I was bursting with ideas and thoughts that I couldn't keep up with. I had posted some of them here. Having a place to let it out (here and with T) really healped me not to act it out.

In the past, i would go out and start a business or start some other idea or venture that was doomed to failure because it was extrememly impulsive. It felt awful not to act on things and I was jumping out of my skin sometimes, but knowing that I could share thing with my T and didn't have to prove that "I can do it, just watch!" really helped me to stay safe until the mood passed.

I am really confused about what exactly happened, but now I am picking up right where I was before and that is what I consider the process of recovery.
