However.. and this is a rather big however. She said that she acknowledges some people with bipolar NEED medication to allow the therapy to even begin to be constructive. She also told me that she's looked at my file over the past five years and strongly believes that without medication I would be dead by now.
So yeah. Hope that helps a bit  |
Funny, I'm getting the distinct impression from my T that he's not convinced that I actually need ongoing therapy once I get meds straightened out! I've worked through a lot of issues on my own and it seems like I'm fairly well adjusted overall, aside from having some crossed wires in my head.
