New Doctor good. Everything else is a mess.

Posted by Shame on March 10, 2005, at 8:59:22


Well the new doc is great. He tried to get me set up with a therapist and a psychiatrist, but it seems that’s the hard part. Nearest one is 90 miles. They are going to get back to me to let me know who has decided to see me. Very gracious of them. In the mean time, the doc says he will do his best for me.

After asking me a couple of questions he said something I really didn't want to hear. Bipolar. Depakote. My last therapist and psychiatrist where trying to convince me that I was bipolar, but I thought they were full of crap. I suppose I have to resign myself to the fact that Its probably true.

Bipolar has such a horrible stigma associated with it. I had come to grips with major depression... I have had plenty of time to adjust to that. Bipolar opens up a whole new set of problems. Thankfully its only BP2.

I guess I really dont know what to do. I'm not sure the drugs are worth it. It seems all of the drugs used to treat BP are pretty awful. I have held it all together this long onr Prozac, Welbutrine and willpower.

I wish my wife didn't have to go throught this.
