Hi Deneb,
Always relieved to see when you are feeling better.
This time, you sounded so scared during that episode...I wish those times could get easier and less frequent for you.
What Alex was writing about in her post...this part....
>>my t tried to teach me that when you are in a good mood can be the best time to look at what happened when things went wrong. it can be the best time to plan and put safegards in (like working out triggers - like organising a p-doc and getting meds sorted).
so then when the low comes you are all prepared and it will be a little easier to get through.<<
...that her prior T. was saying, is really some wonderful, practical advice, IMO.
Do give it some serious thought, please. I think some changes like medication, or even just reconnecting with your pdoc, honestly explaining what's been going on, and making a plan together, could be an amazing thing for you. (and she might have adorable baby pictures to show off...!)
She won't be too busy for you, because you are equally as important as any other patient she's ever had. And I was thinking, reading one of your other posts, she seems like a great person to talk with about being "different," and uncomfortable or confused about using the term mental illness about yourself. I'll bet she'd have some wise, interesting and new ways of looking at it for you. My T's generally have been great at that.
Just some things to consider while you are feeling strong, you know? Hope I'm not coming across all wrong....I do look for all your posts and I do care that you go forward and have a wonderful life :-)
