First - I KNOW the best solution is to talk to T about this, and I will do so on Monday when I have an appointment with her. I just kind of wanted to order my thoughts a bit and get some feedback on this from others.

I'm not sure when it really started, but it's been happening for at least the last month. I feel like T and I are having issues communicating. I feel like we're just a half step out of sync all the time. This is very strange for me because for the last 5+ years, T and I have always communicated very well. It feels like for at least the last month, we've just been having misunderstanding after misunderstanding. It's not been anything big, yet, but it's been happening often enough that I'm noticing and it's frustrating.

For me, big changes within the last month or two have been medication changes and shifting from depression to a hypomanic state. I'm not sure if my T has had things going on in her life which might also be impacting our relationship and communication.

Could my starting Depakote really have impacted our communication in such a way? Could it just be something going on with T, that I'll need to let her know is impacting me? If you've had a great relationship with T, which suddenly seemed to shift slightly, how did you address it, and what worked to solve it?
