Well, most of you know I've started seeing a T (Been 3 times so far) and I guess I'm trying to make sense of my moods, develop ways to deal with them, and generally have a platform to vent and go through my emotions.

How many of you that are bipolar (I'm BP II, rapid cycling) attend therapy too? What do you hope it'll offer you?

I had quite a heavy session today, because mainly I copied a whole lot of my posts off PC and gave them to her to read. I felt I couldn't summarise my week's emotions well enough, but my posts were written as I felt those emotions. It was quite scary sharing, but I think in order to get something out of therapy, it is necessary to open up like that.
I felt a bit of a mess leaving her rooms, but think quite a bit was achieved by going so deep and honest (It's easier to be open and honest here on PC, hiding behind a pseudonym, but to let someone know face to face - that's not easy)

That was a whole lot of ramble, feel free to add whatever, give your experiences on T as a BP patient (As in, we don't always have specific issues like PTSD, we just have a chemical mess)...
I'm tired now...
