Some of you may remember I had a delusional episode about being a witch that was quite intense. I actually left the website because I felt someone questioned my ability to dress myself as a witch. Yikes. Saturday, I woke up and realized I was not a witch, and that the amazing magical power that I had was not real. I cried Saturday and Sunday because it wasn't true and I had felt so powerful. I also worried because I had been out several times dressed pretty inappropriately. Then there is the $1000 I spent.

Today is Monday. I met with my pdoc again and she told me she had wanted to change my dx to bp1 for some time and gave me examples why. I also told her some things my husband told me about some of my manic highs in the past. We made some plans for helping me get back to my previous level of functioning. The only good to come out of this is that I had a job interview in the middle of it. I cast a spell that I would get the job, and I did. LOL. It doesn't start for a couple of months, so I have time to sort myself.

I'll need a lot of luck, but I want this to work.

Thank you for checking in. I agree with your pdoc's diagnosis. What is your new job?

That is great news about your new job, busymomof5! I'm also happy to read that your psychosis has ended and that your diagnosis was finally fully realized.

I hope the new job is exciting and empowering for you. Will it eventually come with benefits? I can imagine that finally making money again will be satisfying. I deep down wish I was able to work again. I believe I someday will. I know that I enjoyed working, while I was well.

Out of curiosity, did you talk to your psychiatrist at all about therapy? Am I correct that that was a topic you brought up in a recent thread? Please forgive me if I am mistaken.

Thanks for your support. I will be working at an elementary school 10 hours a week. Of course, much depends on covid. It will be good to earn some money again and to be around others.

I use my psychiatrist as a therapist but she sometimes feels like she doesn’t have the answers. I have been using a free clinic from time to time as well.

Hopefully, I’ll get to a point of working more hours so I can afford therapy.

Your job sounds wonderful. Congratulations! Hopefully, it will work out with covid. Everything is so uncertain.

It would be excellent if you could see a therapist. At least, that's how I feel about having a mental illness and being in therapy.
