I started seeiing a Therapist after i wound up in the hospital in Feb 2011.. I really feel the only reason im still walking and breathing is the fact I started therapy .. pre hospital diagnosis was " depresion due to fibromyagia pain" after seeing my therapist weekly since then him and my Pdoc have figured out I have been Bi Polar all my life basically !!!!!Im 44 years old and looking back now knowing what my therapist has taught me it sure does explain ALOT of choices in my life and my reactions about things etc... I think Bi polar needs to be treated with medication AND therapy.

Id love to say im doing great and im fixed ! haha we all know there isnt a " fix" but there is learning coping skills and sometimes just knowing whats wrong helps to understand it.

I wish I didnt have Bi Polar ( like everyone else) But Im hoping eventually i will learn to live with out selfloating and all the "other thoughts" that circle like sharks.

Definatly get lined up with a therapist and be totally honest with them from day one .. Honesty is the only way to really start to be healthy again. If you cant be honest with your therapist... who can you be honest with.... is my motto

I wish you some peace ~
