I finally went back to therapy (it has been about 1 year). It had been an eventful year full of ups and downs with lots of unresolved situations and life changes, so it felt good to begin to talk about these things. I had to break down how the Bipolar also affected me since she said it is hard to differentiate what was a symptom vs. my normal response to life events. I had to really emphasize that aside from the issues going on in my life, Bipolar symptoms really did play a big role in the poor decisions I have made. When I explained myself, she said that it's good I'm now back in therapy since I recognize my BP was getting out of hand, and I haven't been myself. So far, it's going well with her, and she isn't judgmental at all. I'm looking forward to my next session
