First, let me admit that reading through all the recent post is a struggle for me between lack of focus and the fact that my head is extremely messed up right now.
For the last couple of weeks things have not been going well. Last Monday, I had my weekly therapy appointment and after arguing with my psychologist because I refused to advocate for myself he told me it sounded like I was in a major depressive episode. I blew off the idea. I just thought I was angry and in a "mood". I didnt want to try and make my general physician understand the physical pain I was in. I thought I wasnt being heard.
As the week progressed, my anger has worsened. My rage increased. Ive not only externalized it but Ive severely wanted to turn it on myself. Ive screamed at people. My friends have had to defuse situations. I was forced into calling my psychologist because I basically felt hopeless. I still feel hopeless. I just know how to play him so he wont have me hospitalized. My thoughts are constantly on suicide but I have no intention to act. I just feel like its the only way the rapid cycling will ever end. We think we get it controlled and suddenly Im thrown off and out of control. I dont want to work. I dont want to leave my apartment. I cry everytime I have to see my psychologist and I absolutely love seeing him and being in his office with his employees and partners. I just dread being in the real world. It makes me miserable.
I have no questions. I just need to get it out. Im miserable and no one seems to get it. The one person I know with Bipolar doesnt seem to want exposed to it which I totally get. The other person who gets it can only do so much. I just feel alone and lost.
