My T is on vacation this week and I am down the shore with a friend. I feel fine about not having my sessions with T and am happy about that. My question is this: When my T was away on a break two weeks ago, I really struggled because I was not having my sessions. However, I was also in a mild to moderate depressive swing with my Bipolar Disorder. So I am wondering if anyone on this site has a harder time with stuff like that when they are struggling with their mood. I was fortunate enough to be able to use several different strategies to help myself but the difference between how I felt about T's vacation 2 weeks ago and how I feel now is huge - I guess I get frustrated because I do not want my mood to affect my emotions/thinking. I guess that's just part of having a depressive disorder!!! Anyway, any thoughts or insights on this would be appreciated. I will be going kayaking later so I will try to check in after that. Very grateful to be feeling stable...
