Only recently realized I have PTSD in the mix with BP-II, major depression, anxiety. Have only just entered the "pandora's box" phase in therapy, which has increased anxiety level, but hopefully worth it... you give me hope! Kudos for sticking with it and becoming functional. It is huge. Give yourself tons of credit when you can. That said, it's also HUGE that he's going to a session with you. One session might be the difference but seems to depend a lot upon how your T handles it. Prayers that you're able to get somewhere with this person.. he needs to recognize, understand and accept his own thing before he can do so with you, maybe? Meantime go easy on yourself and forgive him his lousy behavior... he's ill and you can help him and each other. Peace.. Alex.
