I had a good therapy session today. We discussed something re my career and she said she thought I was capable because I may have a mental illness, but I am in treatment and committed so she thinks I am doing well considering. So that was encouraging.
We also talked about exposure therapy for anxiety. I don't think she's an expert in ERP, but for now I think I'll stick with her because she does seem to get me and I trust her. If I feel I am not making progress I will consider switching to an ERP therapist again. We talked about the bipolar diagnosis and she said I could see my psychiatrist again and release the records to her so she can see why they gave me the diagnosis. I am thinking I might do that.

She also recommended I read the book Is Fred in the Refrigerator? which is about OCD. For those who are interested and would find it relevant I thought I would share. Looks like it got some good reviews.

On a random note, my mom mailed me a box of small pumpkins from her garden. Looking forward to painting them with friends.

Sending compassion to everyone!
