Hi guys,

I'm in a positive mood so thought I'd post. Then I'm going to eat a cupcake.

Today I had my first session with a psychologist. I was worried before hand about if it would be a horrible session but it was wonderful. I really like the lady and she seems to be the right fit! Yay!

So she diagnosed me as bipolar but is going to get me referred to a psychiatrist to confirm it and sort out my meds. She's helping me keep power on the treatment from the GP I have (only used the doc to get the psychologist referral for medicare purposes; i reallllly don't want him giving me meds as he didn't seem to have a clue!) so I'm really happy that she's supportive in this way.

I can't remember if I really mention this in another thread - but I'm currently out of my home city. All the doctors I've seen while on my travel have gone, 'errr, we can't treat you as you're travelling so much' vibe but my psychologist is going to work out a plan so i can still talk to her while away from here + see someone at home when i really need to. I'm so relieved! Having docs use excuses not to try and find an alternative way to help was really starting to get to me.

So I am pretty happy day without flipping way out. It's awesome. :-D
