I feel as if I am cycling right now. But I don't know if it's because of my bipolar or the ***** that's going on in my life right now or a combo. Unfortunately I do not have a T right now. I know I need one, but the thought of having to tell my life story all over again is daunting. I know I would break down and I just cannot handle talking about it. I don't want to go through changing or adding meds. I am terrified of any side effects I might suffer. I have had some pretty bad ones in the past. One turned me into a violent alcoholic, which is so out of character for me, and put me in the mental hospital. I don't know what to do.
Anyone have any experiences like this or have any advice? Thank you for listening. I am so glad I found this site. I don't feel so isolated.

Just wanted you to know you weren't alone, I'm listening. But probably talking it out with someone could help though. Just to get it out of your head at least.

Don't be afraid of a new T. I just got one this summer and she already had read my file so we hit the ground running. It could be a good thing!

I'm looking for a new T & don't want to either
![]() Out of 10 at least I've been to - I only opened up to a few. And no I don't want to start over with telling my story again to a stranger, build trust. Really not looking forward to it. But I really want therapy... I think I will interview them first and not allow myself to be intimidated. A good T lets you open up in your own time frame. If they push me too far I'm out of there. And I feel like I'm ready to tell them that, rather than the usual - ya I'll call you to reschedule. It's hard to find the right one, but will be worth it. I want to feel better. Welcome ![]() |
