I find it difficult to know how to prioritize in my therapy sessions so it's helpful to bounce ideas around here and see what comes out as being important.
Indestructable, as was said, def talk to your t and md. I would suggest a psychiatrist, if u don't see one. It was a psychiatrist who finally dx my mild bipolar^othetwise not specific. Pmd, t, and psych md at the time-16yrs ago-all missed the bipolar-so I tried many many antidepress over 2yrs ans had many many side effects and was only a little better. All the meds I'm on now,-I manage a family, work 2jobs. Having depression/anxiety now from recent events but if I had not already been on meds wuld have been much worse.***of course I am not an md but def get evaluated. Many people with hypomania get irritable, have troublesleeping have anxiiety only seem slightly hyper, can have fast high pressure speech.good luck
