Good work with your t, he sounds very attuned to you Chris. I like the way he admitted he had missed seeing you in a manic state, which if you are not usually in that state going to therapy it would be ok to miss it but since he is trained to notice things like that it was admiral for him to admit the mistake.
it sounds like you are acutely aware of what is going on and how the stress of everything got you into that state, do you think now, knowing this that you will be able to prevent it in the future?
