Okay, so who wants to hear about Fun With Swedish Shrinks?
Too bad, you’re hearing about it anyway, lol.
So, Pup tells me last night that she’s planning to go with me, which major load off my mind, lol. Anyway, turns out that they think my meds are buggered, but unlike the quack, umm, I mean, other doc this one is actually trained to mess with ppls heads and actually understood why I was on the meds and explained exactly what he wanted to do. So, yeah, good stuff. :D
He also managed to explain cyclothymia to me in a way that made sense! And it seems to have little relation to how it was explained before, but I like his version, lol. AND this is huge as far as I’m concerned, he agreed that mixed-states are the worst of the spectrum!!!!!!!!! I wanted to hug him for that, well not really, but you know, major step on the trusting the head shrink there.
I’ll spare you guys the rest of the details, but they are messing with my meds. *chews lip* But they are checking in weekly and have given me a proper therapist- she was even in on the p-doc appointment! Amazing, isn’t it?!?!? Unfortunately, there’s still that language issue but we’re gonna try it anyway.
But, so ppl who actually have to deal with me and my psychotic lunacy know what’s going on, they’re taking me off my anti-d, lowering it to half for this week, then well see from there. He wants to put me on an anti-psychotic instead, he thinks that it’ll help block the manias and, for what it’s worth, he made a good case for it, so…
Anyway, it went good and I found out something I didn’t know about BP, apparently one of the big brain things BP messes with is circadian rhythms, basically making our brains/bodies think that the early hours of the mourning are the most productive and useful! It’s not me!!!!!!!! I mean it’s me, but there’s a reason for it! This was of the good… it was even better because Pup was there and got to hear it first hand and it was the doc who brought it up! I felt so vindicated, lol.
