Not a therapist. I've been here for a long time -started posting, I think a year and a half ago, and then quit for awhile and then came back after my Pdoc broke my confidentiality and I needed people to share the story with who would be understanding, since of course I couldn't share the information with many people.
I have been labeled BP II, but am not wholly convinced and think it's more likely that I have depression and anxiety (PTSD from growing up in an abusive home).
I've also been labled 'high functioning' whatever that means. I just think it means that I put my pains aside and just keep going.
If I sound clear and focused it's because journaling, playing music and studying a variety of philosophies (mainly eastern), plus studying and teaching yoga (and of course, deep self contemplation) have made me that way. Thank you for the compliment. Maybe I'll be a therapist in my lifetime after next - but the next one's reserved for me to be a doctor! ;>)
Cheers,
