I am posting this under Bipolar and PTSD because I am both and don’t know where it will find the most responses. I saw my T yesterday and wanted to discuss my progress. We wrote a list of all my symptoms before I started meds and therapy. My T kept repeating that this was “a long list!” This bothers me because I thought I was a run of the mill crazy person, but his reaction makes me think that my problems were more extreme. I am stable now, just some steady anxiety I manage with coping skills, but I was a mess back then. So my issues were: Depression, suicidal, cutting, dissociation, depersonalization, derealization, hypervigilance, anxiety, panic attacks, voices in my head, psychosis, mania, and insomnia
So how do I compare? Does anybody else experience all these issues or is it just me?
