Right, I don't function well on 2 hours of sleep. I can't even begin to measure the extent of my impairment, though. It's been sooo long since I regularly got 7-8 hours of sleep. When I read articles warning people that 6 hours isn't enough I just think-- wowww those 6 hour people don't know how good they have it!

This makes me feel a little better about not bringing up bipolar. I just wanted to make sure for myself that I truely wasn't ignoring a major issue, since it's something I've considered. I don't want to be kicking myself 10 yrs from now because I didn't get help.

Thanks, I guess! (about the self-reporting) I've been that by almost every doctor/counselor I've seen. (although not by my current one). I suppose I hold back way too much with him, despite the fact that I like him. I try to please him with the idea that all is well, or at least better than it really is.

My mother reminds me sometimes that I can't feel bad about bringing up my concerns, making appointments, or calling about prescriptions b/c I know they're busy. Other patients shouln't take priority, we're all equal. He's working for me and it's his job! I really don't know why I feel this way because when I'm in his office, with him or any employee, I'm treated like I'm the most important person evvver!
