ugh. "irritability." "argumentative" "combative."

look, my old psych records from way back when are an alphabet soup. In an odd way, being labeled with "bipolar I" has been something of a blessing. "Crazy" enough for treatment, not "crazy" enough for involuntary treatment and/or hospitalization.

anyway...there's also rapport, or lack thereof to deal with. some shrinks power trip. some are assholes. some are misogynistic, homophobic, elitist, racist, etc. happens. i try to remember that when i get irritated with mental health people.
