Hi, everyone. I went to my pdoc yesterday and told him everything -- about the hallucinations, missing blocks of time, and saying "Let's" to myself when doing things. He now thinks I may have a schizo element plus DD. PTSD is definitely there, too. He did question me if I really think I have bipolar disorder. That threw me somewhat and is causing a lot of self-examination. Paranoia, actually.
The really good news is that I start with a T TODAY! And she is local, so I don't have to drive an hour!
For me a dx is somewhat important, just for my sake to have an idea of what's been going on with me for so long. I too, am afraid to tell Patrick everything for fear he may throw it up at me. I did share part of my bipolar book with him to help me when I get into mood swings. He was so sweet and wanting to be helpful. The big thing for him, was that I admitted that I have a problem, instead of blaming him for everything. He DID cause my last episode where I should've gone to the hospital. At least he will take some ownership in that.
My chickens are my biggest source of happiness. I saw one of my big hens stand up to a rooster yesterday to keep him from constantly chasing my little hen. I loved hearing stories some of you have shared about chickens. I'd love to hear more.
I'll let you know how things go with my T. Her name is Debbie, and on the phone she had a very easy laugh. I can't remember the last time I laughed.
