I slacked off writing this blog because so much has happened and also because my meds were working. I haven't had a major manic or depressive episode, other than issues triggered by environmental settings. I am told that others still fear that I will act out and therefore they tread lightly around me, which has made me hypersensitive to my actions.
I have health insurance again and have already started putting my plan in place. I have met with a therapist and psychiatrist, am looking into long term treatment, posted the emergency numbers on my wall, and checked my pharmacy plan for drug costs. I think I like my psychiatrist - I didn't have to push to get him to accept my condition and he seems fully aware of all the treatment I've gone through. He has an interesting view in which all humans are trying to grow and develop. Mental disorders are inhibitors of this growth and development and once they can be treated, growth and development can occur. I think this idea will be very useful for me. My current therapist is also interested in examining my relationships and how I function in them. Also useful. Apart from that, I want to do something about my impulse spikes.
Well...that's that for now...
