Hi Maple,

When I first saw my old pdoc (a different one) last year he said I had "blunted" facial expression caused by one of the meds I was on (I forget which one it was at the time because it's changed a bit from then). There is a medical term for it but I can't remember. I think yours seems to be more .... of a bit of a distance from others?

I'm sorry that you've been going through a bit of a rough time. It's not easy when we go through episodes and it can leave a trail of a little mess behind the aftermath.

Sometimes, depending on what phase of my diagnosis I am in, I want to be left alone too. I can understand how this would be worrying for your family. They care about you and they want you to be well.

I find my disposition also tends to change according to which meds I'm on and my mood cycle.

I don't have it all worked out right now but I'm getting there.

I hope you're receiving the right support from your pdoc.

Take care and thanks for the post.
