I think its also our timing, Break.

I know going back after a long break or in your case a new psych... we're going to be in a somewhat calm state just to get a reading on them and importantly not allowing them to see us at our worse, until they have seen us at our best.

It’s never alright. It comes and it goes.
It’s always around, even when it don’t show.
They say it gets better. well I guess that it might.
But even when it’s better, it’s never alright.
Thanks for this!
