The idea is that when you're feeling destructive, you post on the forums. Give the forum an update 2-3 times a day (or more, as much as you need too) and leave a voice-mail or email your T and tell them the truth. If that is TOO much, and you live near T, print out the post and give it to them. Honesty is key in getting any kind of treatment.
Thanks. That is a really good idea. My T is great and I am very honest with him. I would only call/text him between sessions if I was in danger.

Last night I couldn't get to sleep till 3am sleep despite meds I took. I feel ok so far today, a little irritable but things tend to go south in the afternoons. Started reducing my AD today so will see how that goes. My thoughts are racing and a little dark. I hope it doesn't get worse throughout the day. So fed up with this illness.
