I laid it all on the line with my pdoc this week (I don't have a therapist). I told him about my recent hypomanic episode, trying to give myself a "drug holiday" a couple of weeks ago, even the fact that I think about sex all the time. This is stuff I never told my favorite pdoc when I was with him. Not that he would've judged me, only that he was almost a much a friend as a clinician and I didn't want to disappoint him. This one, I feel like I can tell him anything and he'll just sit there and listen, then give me some good advice. He's older (probably mid- to late 60s) and I just know he's heard it all.

So yes, tell your T everything. That's what they're there for. You'll almost certainly feel a lot better. I do.
