I learned in therapy why I'm bipolar versus schizophrenic. I'm happy but still wish I wasn't mental. She said I was strong to realize my limitations. And told me how good it is I'm realizing them.

Doors are opening for acting that never opened for music. I always felt like I was pushing to make things happen but a month ago I say I want to act start searching and now I'm in acting classes!

It's just happening so fast its virtually easy by comparison. And I don't feel like I have to be perfect to act but to sing I was never good enough. I'm on my way! Even I'm not the next big thing I don't care I just want to work as an actor. Not all actors become famous, but can make a nice living.

Did your Therapist say you were "mental" ? That is not a nice way of putting it. What does she think about the agency that you just paid for?

No mental is my word. I just wish I was sane not crazy. I'm stable that's as close to sane as I can get. Classes are fun. Putting us to work on techniques right away. Glad it's paid for and I don't have to stress about class. Just have to figure out my other bills.

It hasn’t been offered to me. And I don’t really want to take another pill if I can help it…the TD is tolerable. Thanks for asking.
