Another update - Bipolar Disorder Message Board

Tinkerbell79 · 10-29-2007, 06:25 PM

I want to start off by telling everyone that I hope they had a good day and a good weekend. Next, I had my appt with my therapist today and of course and usual everytime I have to be somewhere I was late. A half hour late!! So that ate up my time and it was more of her getting to know my history than anything. So of course bringing up everything that has happened within the past year and especially since everything got bad 6 mths ago and then again this time it made me cry AGAIN!! Then I was in a gloomy/foul mood all day. Eh oh well. I have another appt Wednesday with her cause she could see that I really needed to talk.

I must say that I do like her. She seems rather caring and concerned. She listens intently and I like that. That does make me feel a little better that I have a therapist here that I like. One plus about being here lol. Maybe if I could find a bunch more I may be able to adjust to the move better.

I'm slowly getting to read all the new threads and posting to them as quickly as I can. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't enjoy getting on here and reading everyone's posts and posting one's of my own. It would be kind of cool to have our own chat room or something lol. But I'm going for now...my mind is going in a hundred different directions and I can't think straight to figure what I'm going to say next lol.. Not like I haven't already typed enough...sorry...

((((((((((HUGS)))))))))) to everyone.

Tinkerbell,

I'm glad you like your therapist and feel you can talk to her. Making it on time seems worth it.
You've had a rough time, and I do hope things even out and become easier for you. I don't know you very well, but have followed all your posts.

Like you, I check this board every day and respond when I can. It is a godsend to me, truly, as I have no other support than just one therapist, who deals mostly with my ED, not the bipolar. But I may have found a support group, am checking it out.

Best to you and a blessing, too,

Seaturtle

Thanks Seaturtle. I agree that makin it on time is worth it. It's just the fact that no matter what I do I am NEVER on time. Either I am too early or late. There's never a happy medium.

Having a support system really does work wonders. Good luck with the one you're checking into and also I would definately check on getting a new therapist that deals with BP but thats' only if you want to and feel like you don't really like the one youre seeing now.

I'm waiting for this part of the roller coaster to even out. Hope all is going well with you.

Thanks for the update dear! I love to hear from you and enjoy coming to these boards as much as you do!

You and I are alike in the fact that we are always late for things! I am always so rushed and late. Life is never dull, I guess!

I have an appt with the pdoc tomorrow as well. Hopefully our appts will go well! Post an update on that when you can and I will do the same!
