Bipolar

Just need to rant a bit. My new psychologist has just diagnosed me with bipolar. But they never told me about the diagnosis. Now finally I'll be starting some meds! Yay! Once those are in effect and helping I can start thinking about GD and hormones again.
AAaaargghh! This is taking waaay to long for my brain to handle all this!

Dear Emily,

Hope you have a trustworthy relationship with your psychologist. Have they told you why they think you are bipolar? Have you considered getting a second opinion?

It is common for those who are bipolar (as well as other illnesses) to be diagnosed late in life.

If you are indeed bipolar, you will have to take medication under medical supervision. 

Have known several friends of mine with bipolar respond beautifully to medication.

Yours truly,

Monica

Hi Monica,

Yes, I'm pretty sure I'm bipolar. I've been seeking help for gender dysphoria, and everyone I've talked to agrees GD is present. But each and every one of them also have mentioned that I may be bipolar. The last two psychiatrists both diagnosed me with BPD. It's mild, but taking meds right now. Those should take a couple of weeks before the effects kick in. We'll see how things go. I hope indeed I respond just as beautifully to the medication!

❤️

Emily
