As for treatments, there isn't anything currently on the market that is better than the medicine my bio mom currently takes/has been taking. There is a new medication going through clinical trials right now, but it's too early to tell whether it is a better option. Regardless, if I do have it, I think my prognosis will be better than hers because I don't have her mental health diagnosis, I live a much healthier lifestyle, and I have a much more determined/positive personality. I really believe the last one makes a difference.

Yes, I could leave a message for my T (and I could probably talk to her if I asked) but I'm not going to. It's the weekend and I'd rather give her the time/space to relax and be with her family. I know she cares about me and that she has been worried about my health, and I don't want to interrupt her weekend to give her bad news. It's also better for me that I turn to the people in my RL for support, as opposed to rely on my T. I don't *need* to talk to her right now. I talked to my dad, my sister, and 2 of my best friends. They've been really great and supportive. I also posted here and got feedback. I'll be okay until my appointment on Monday.
Thanks for this!
