I have never been diagnosed as bipolar, but I have these ups and downs in my life that aren't as obvious to the casual observer, but to me they've become a predictable and somewhat frustrating.
This is a long shot, but if having an official diagnosis would help you, but you’ve been putting it off for financial or logistical reasons, and if you ever find yourself in New York, (where I am licensed to practice), just hit me up and we can do a free telehealth session in which I can provide you with a Dx. Having a diagnosis can really be liberating and validating for some folks, especially if you’re trying to get your prescriber to give you the right Rx.
Incredibly kind of you to offer, man. Sincerely, thank you.
It's not so severe that I think that it requires intervention. It's just a thing that happens. You can always tell when I'm in an Up phase because I lose weight and am generally in good spirits. The down times come and I get sort of despairish and more quick to anger. It just part of having a semi-defective dopamine pump.
I am cautiously optimistic about generally everything, right now.
I have been discussing spending some time in the Loire Valley in La Charite. Wondered what anyone here's impressions of small-town life in France are. There are a bunch of musicians moving there. It's turning into a thing, I guess.
Love you guys.
