I've never really discussed a "treatment plan." There have been just vague discussions that I need to increase my self-esteem & manage my bipolar symptoms to improve the quality of my life & get over the desire to OD to stop the "voices" (not literal ones) that keep putting me down. I have lost a little weight since I've stopped eating with my husband. I just give him his dinner & go in another room & read so maybe this is for the best. I have gained 50 lbs. in five years since being on the bp meds & now have high blood pressure & insulin resistance that could be a precurser to diabetes--both my parents were diabetic. So maybe I could focus on my physical health & let the mental health not be my only focus. Thanks for all the help. I'll use your suggestions to improve my therapy or if that doesn't work, maybe try to find another one. I just know I need a woman therapist.--Suzy
