@Rosi700, thanks for sharing about the old Bipolar NOS diagnosis and it's new form. So you know, my nephew was diagnosed Bipolar NOS and in my view it's no lesser of a diagnosis than Bipolar type 1 or 2. I happen to believe in the bipolar spectrum. And think that even us with bipolar type 1, like me, have our own "flavors" of the disorder. In the end, the right treatments (therapeutic and medications) are what count so that we may be healthier and happier. As for you not being around as much, I do hope you aren't stepping away only because you need more support than can give. We all sometimes need more support, and that's OK. You've been very supportive since you came here. It CAN be time for you to ask for more of it. But if you need to concentrate on other things, away from here, it's understandable. I do wish you wellness in your mental health journey.

@HALLIEBETH87, congratulations on being accepted to the honor society! You rock! Also best of luck if you do decide on graduate school, or whatever avenue you plan to take now.

@Scooter9, I'm glad you got enough sleep and a great workout. Good for the body and soul, for sure.

@BeyondtheRainbow, I think we all have the right to cancel appointments without explanations, unless it's very frequent. You are an adult and have other aspects to your live. We all do. I once had a therapist that very much invaded my privacy. I didn't like it.
