Hey Unguy. Firstly, love to you, you're gonna be OK. I'm not a doctor obviously but you mentioned your heart surgery and the first thought that jumped into my head was that depression often follows (even for people with no history of depression) major surgery, and maybe more for someone who is prone to depression. So you may be vulnerable that way. But that also means you may have scope to move through that depression and get to the other side. Getting to physical therapy is obviously critical but it's your head that needs to get you there, so your T needs to help.

I really related to what you said about being able to talk to your T, but not others. I have Bipolar II and CPTSD with Psychotic Features. I am naturally a very outgoing person but my illnesses have me profoundly isolated. But when I see my psychiatrist or therapist I am always ready to go with all my issues listed in my diary, ready to talk and often up-beat. But I can be very sick overall and it gives them the wrong impression of how well/sick I am. It's simply that I get excited with having someone to talk to! (seriously)

Please keep posting and keep the dialogue going.
