Yes, I have seen him and he has been exceptionally attentive to how I am coping. Which is not typical of him. He's not a very therapeutic psychiatrist. I usually see him for less than five minutes (seriously). But since the incident, he spends as much time as I need which is usually 20-30 minutes. He does a balanced job of validating what I am going through while keeping my partners privacy in check which has to be a professional challenge. Thus far, he hasn't seen the need to adjust my meds. Not that it is necessarily relevant, but I took the sanity quiz on this site and scored 154 which is quite high; little wonder my life feels like a runaway train.

Two answer your second question, I am coping with my depression (mostly). Some days if I don't sleep well or have other stressors, I dip noticeably, but it hasn't lasted more than a day at most, but I am never really 'up.'

It is just so damn difficult to find perspective and balance.
Thanks for this!
