I've done a lot of years in therapy, and it has been fairly helpful. However, I don't know that I consider it to be "for" my bipolar. It is more for helping me change unhealthy patterns in relationships and dealing with stressors. These things can make my depressive symptoms worse, but addressing these issues can't make the BP go away. When I realized this, I was mad "at therapy" for not "curing" me. I'm past that angry phase now and I take therapy for what it is worth. And in my book, overall, it is worth it.

Best,
EJ
Thanks for this!
