View Full Version : Summer makes my bipolar disorder better and every other disorder worse

I'm quitting my 7th specialist and going back to a previous therapist who I liked better.

Though, my psychiatrist wanted me to see a psychologist versus a therapist. Compared to how my counselor at school reacts to me, I know why she recommended that. But I do hope that this therapist can take it better than my counselor (who refuses to even listen when I bring my alter ego into the conversation) since it's what I primarily want to talk about.

I'm just really looking for a therapist who cares about me, just there to listen to whatever I can spill, and give advice accordingly, not seeking to "cure" me in every way possible.

Onto Rith, it has been funny this summer. See, Rith is anorexic, but I love food. She'll take over, and then before I know it, it's 6pm and I haven't eaten at all. Then I come back to myself, and I'm shaking incredibly.

I don't see how I can be so anti-social if all Rith does is talk... her friends aren't real, I know, but it seems odd that she always has something to talk about, yet yesterday there I was at the bowling alley with a sudden minor panic attack because a girl in the lane next to me looked at me.

Rant, rant, rant, rant, RANT!

Finding a good counselor/therapist is a great thing. I am still to this day very grateful for my counselor. She helped me become who I am today. Even a few of my cheesy motivational lines.Just find one that you feel comfortable being around and talking to. No matter what it may be. They are only there to help, but if you don't feel right with them, then you should change.

Even though Rith thinks she knows what's best she doesn't. Don't feel like you have to listen to what she says. Eating is a very important thing. Don't think just because she says that's what you're supposed to do, that's what you have to do. You know what's right.

You have to filter out some of the things she tells you. What I mean by filter, I mean be selective on what she tells you to do because she always isn't right. If you ever need someone to talk to I'm always here VM me anytime.
