Bluebird- I hope your therapist helps you sort through all that trauma, certainly sounds chaotic and traumatic. I'm about to start trauma therapy myself and I'm told it's going to get worse before it gets better, so if that's the route you take, be prepared. Love the scratching post, hope the kitties do too!

I got Sir a new bed. He likes to lay on a rug near the front door. So I bought him a bed for that area. He’s been loving it. He sleeps in his family room bed in slider window the morning, his up on the table bed by the living room window in the afternoon and on his new bed the rest of the time. He certainly has it made!

It's such a sad, sickening feeling when we realize that someone we knew as a child was surely abused by someone because that child's behavior was clearly indicative of abuse. All we can do is hope that sought treatment when they became adults. I'm right there with your decision to tell your t about that incident, Birdie. I believe it's a very important piece of the trauma you experienced and need and want to heal from __________________ |

BlueBird, I talked to my therapist about a very similar thing just last week. I've been through trauma therapy and he knows in detail most of what happened to me as a child but I'd never talked about this. I felt so much better after I did. I hope the same is true for you. Blue_Bird and Boots, trauma therapy was very hard but it was very worth it. I'm so glad I did it. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.

Thank you everyone for the support, I really appreciate it. I kept changing my mind on whether to bring it up because I felt like it was stupid to bring up but it will probably help me feel better talking about it , so that is what I will be doing at our next appointment January 5th

Well, that's one, but there is the theory about the psychosocial, etc. I just now spent too long reading about it and man, there are so many theories about the kindling effect, none of them even proven, all of them speculative. My brain started to muddle, wander and lose focus so I finally closed the pages and stopped reading. The one takeaway I did find intriguing, as I always have about this subject, is one or 2 assertions that the kindling effect has to do with some sort of connection between BD and epilepsy. See, that has always intrigued me because I do believe that bipolar moods are seizure-like. But even that continues to be a debate. __________________ |

I found my vacuum cleaner bags! They were right there, inches above my head on a shelf in my closet. I didn't have to lift anything heavy, at all.
My therapist claims to have done trauma therapy with me, but I don't really feel any different than when I first walked into her office. What exactly are therapists supposed to do about trauma to alleviate it in a client? Can someone give me say, 3, things? I would appreciate it. __________________ |

I don't know how I am I've been. I'm anxiously waiting word on the apartment. I'm not really eating a lot. Loosing a bunch of weight. Can't handle this much longer. It's so hard not eating clean. I had a taco tonight and I feel so sick 🤢. It sucks. Anything processed I'm having trouble. So drinking has been interesting too I know I have to drink but all the things that can be in it. There's no meat market/ farmers market. So I'm having difficulty.

People saying they want that man to die aren't being very nice. Even my mom said she hopes it happens. You just don't wish that stuff on anyone. You wish for other legal type stuff to happen but not for someone to die. I just find that wrong and kind of sick thinking.
I have to cut corners somehow so I'm trying spotify instead of Amazon music. Not being able to skip songs is annoying. I haven't been annoyed by too many ads though. But man am I hungry. I just want to chug an entire bottle of eggnog right now. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

I feel less euphoric and more numb. I’m trying to be in the Christmas spirit but failing. I mean I usually have everything wrapped and prepared. I don’t even feel like it. I’m anxious and numb all at once and sleepy too. I’m not sure ifs truly my mood or if I’m having this bc of the risperdal increase. I see my new pdoc next Tuesday and I’m scared to share what’s happening. So far no bugs today.
Any thoughts, friends? I’m not sure what’s happening __________________ Bipolar 1 w/psychotic features or schizoaffective bipolar type PTSD generalized anxiety OCD celexa, prazosin, Lybalvi and prn zyprexa and klonopin |

What man @Mountaindewed? Not being able to skip songs is unacceptable.
Do you think it really could be the Risperdal increase @HALLIEBETH87? Seems like the current symptoms began when you increased. By "next Tuesday" do you mean all the way on the 27th? How about calling to get in sooner...even a phone appointment? @Nammu, Sir must just adore his new bed. Makes me feel happy just imagining him all snuggled up in it. __________________ |
