Thanks for the support.

I had told T that I was having some trouble keeping up with household chores and personal hygiene, even on meds, and that without my meds I was sinking into depression. She asked what my fiancé does to help pull me out of it, and I told her we can't really afford to go out and have fun, and that she has her own limitations that cause her to have an erratic sleep schedule and sometimes she simply can't do the things that cheer me up. So the T said that my partner and I don't have a strong foundation to build a family on. But T wasn't listening to all the supportive things that fiancé DOES do. She is always there with snuggles and an uplifting attitude, and she accepts whatever I need to do, as long as it doesn't involve spending all the money or sleeping around when I am manic. She takes care of our 4 cats and 2 dogs, takes out the garbage,listens to me, and cheers me up.

My other T knew me better, and she thinks I can do it. She disclosed that she had a very difficult time when her child was a baby, but said that it is not that hard for everyone. She said I am very strong and is very happy with my support network.
