Been a while since I've checked in anywhere. I haven't forgotten about the forum, I've just been super busy with schoolwork and helping my sister prepare for Thanksgiving (bah hum bug).

Had an appointment with the psychologist yesterday. Have mixed feelings about it. We talked about what I told the psychiatrist. He asked me why I hadn't told him about the hypo/manic episodes (he used both words at different times, so idk what to call them). I didn't know how to answer. The real answer is that I thought they weren't serious when I'd had them. But I didn't want to admit that. I felt like I should have known, being a psych student. Instead I just said it was a comfort thing. We talked about the diagnosis, the possible one. They're (the docs) in some.. disagreement? I don't know. I feel stuck between disorders and it freaking sucks. Talked about the Lamictal and how it's been going.

And had to do paper work. Chose two goals. I knew that was coming. Was harder to think of two than I thought it'd be. And then we talked more about my up moods. He asked me to explain how they felt. It took a minute, but once I started it was pretty easy. The depression was actually harder to explain. The only thing I could say was 'dark' and 'crash'. Which actually seemed like enough for him...

He seems fixated on my appetite. Makes me nervous. It's hard to be honest about it. Due time. Due time.

Depression comes and goes, but on the bright side it doesn't stick around as long on the lamictal. School is coming close to the last module and right now, I'm counting down the days until my trip to Michigan in December.

All in all, I'm doing okay. You know, comme ci, comme ça.
