I wonder if by commenting that it was a long list, your T was trying to point out how far you've come--not what a mess you once were.

I haven't experienced everything on your list--but I've also experienced symptoms that aren't on your list. Neither of us is a crazy person. We've struggled and suffered, though, and that determination to improve our lot seems like the most important part.

It sounds like you've come a long way! At this point, you can say you have PTSD and bipolar under control, with some anxiety that is also managed. That's a status many aspire to. Pat yourself on the back!
