Have you talked to your pdoc about the change in your thoughts?

Hi liz, the light the pdoc told me to use is a square box-type thing with a stand, reminds me of the make-up mirror my much older sisters used when I was a little girl, except it's a light. It has 3 settings. I'm supposed to sit in front of it, the light about 1 foot from my face. 5 minutes, no more because they're concerned I'll get manic/mess up my sleep cycle/both.
I've talked with my therapist about the changes in my thoughts. For whatever reason, it's easier for me to describe how I feel here.
