To make a long story short, I'm working with this chick who works with my mental health clinic trying to get me a job because I'm on disability I went in to meet with her today, and she told me she can't work with me because I don't have a SPMI. I had to google it. It means severe and persistent mental illness, and all the things I've found include bipolar disorder in the list of disorders included in that term.
So... do my doctors not think that I'm bipolar? I've had 2 psychiatrists and 3 therapists agree that I am. My current psychiatrist seems to believe I am, as well. Not so sure about my therapist because I've never asked him.
My therapist is the one that sent me to see her, but I don't see him again for a week and a half. I haven't set up a new appointment with my psychiatrist yet, but I most likely will on Friday because the stupid med she put me on made me feel high. It's a stupid system where the day you call you MIGHT get an appointment.
Any ideas? Thanks!
