Yesterday, T suggested considering medication. Every little while something will set me off and I'll seriously be considering sui for a day or just extremely out of it for a couple of weeks or something in between. I asked what I might be able to do to prevent it from happening and she suggested learning to healthily control the little stress so that when a big one comes, it doesn't turn into that or medication such as a mood stabilizer. She said the mood stabilizer might help with the depression and anxiety. T told me that I'm not bipolar, just something to help me from going from being okay to suddenly not. She asked me if this happening severe every 3-5ish months is often enough to be considering medication.

Some of this I don't feel like is such a deal because I have had problems keeping my mind calm since I was younger. Did I say something to make her think I wanted to consider meds, because I'm not that type of person. I'd rather find a way to handle them without med. I jut got done with testing, now this. Was she waiting til that was over to throw this at me?

Do you have any suggestions for things I could do when this comes up? Would a mood stabilizer help with depression and anxiety? Is it something I should consider or should I try another semester and see how I handle things?
