So tomorrow I have a therapy intake. I guess they do some sort of assessment and then line you up with the right therapist.
Not really sure what I'm going to talk about. I have a lot of work stress right now, that's one thing. I'm not really sure why I'm seeing someone, other than that's what you're supposed to do when you have BP. I guess it can't hurt, right?

I'm confused. You said you're not sure why you're seeing a therapist. So who or what made you sign up for therapy?

I have my first appointment next Tuesday. I'm assuming I'm supposed to talk about my medical history, family history, chief areas of concern.
Good luck! |

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. I'm kinda confused myself.
I've been dealing with relatively short depressive spells and anxiety lately. A couple weeks ago during one of these times I decided to see a therapist. I think the depressions might be situational. Same with the anxiety. I had a really bad spell with Wellbutrin where I was manic/mixed and suicidal. So I guess I do have some issues to deal with. I guess I'm going because I think I might be able to handle work and family life better. If there's a better me somewhere inside, I'd like to find him. Oh, and this isn't my first time in therapy. It's just that I fired my last therapist about a decade ago. Might be time for another shot.

My opinion is you have a person that you can unload on , say whatever is going on in relationships or work , get advice or just getting it off your chest.

Hope your time with intake went well. Usually a bunch of questions on your background and MH history, so they can find out what works best for you.

Thanks for all the well wishes. The intake did go well; if the psychologist doing it is any reflection of the staff there, they'll be good. She wants to do a clinical assessment questionnaire, so I'll be doing that next week. Hope it helps.
