Interesting week for me. I have been estranged from my daughter. This has been going on for awhile, but nothing as terrible as this. I was wondering she will even allow me to be there when she gives birth to my grand daughter. I even felt that we may not see each other for quite a while. Yesterday night she came over to tell me that she is not happy about what has been happening between us. So right now, so far, we are getting along a little better. What was happening to me was allot of depression and negative thinking. This helped making our relationship worse.

My doctor left the public facility that I have been going to for my meds. l have been with him for 15 years. Some time later while waiting for a nurse, I overheard someone saying my doctors name. I talked to him and found out that my doctor is still practicing in an office fourty five minutes away. I used the telephone number that this person gave me to make an appointment with my doctor. I saw him at his office yesterday and have been given different meds.

I have elected a new insurance carroer which has him as an in-network specialist. I am lucky it is the time of the year that I can do this with Medicare Advantage plan. Unfortunately it starts Jan 1st of next year. BTW he changed my diagnosis from Bipolar NOS to Bipolar I. I asked him about this. If I had just one manic episode in my past, I am labeled as BP I.

I heard someone yelling outside. I opened my door to find a neighbor across the road waving a gun around. A policeman was there giving him commands to drop the gun. I thought he eas going to get shot. I closed my door. I found out later he now is staying at a hospital psych unit, probably for the three day observation period. He really needs help, so I hope they help him with his problems. He has needed help for several years now, and probably longer than that.
