I went to get a second opinion. A long journey is ahead of me.
I mentioned in a an earlier post that I was diagnosed by Bipolar disorder T2 (where the mania is so subtle but the depression is important) and the consult was short and she gave me medication.
I was skeptical and wanted a second opinion.
I am just leaving the second doctor's office. She made the same diagnosis.
I suggested to take the medication after my big upcoming exam (a month later) since I'm feeling good overall. The episode of depression washed away a couple weeks earlier.
She agreed and said that I was going to actively help with the treatment's dosage, as a means to imply me more in the therapeutical approach. And gave the appointment 02 weeks after starting the treatment.
It looks like I'm embarking on a long, difficult journey... one that I never imagined myself having.
The whole thing is hard to grasp to be honest. I perhaps need a support system, and I can't afford that where I'm living.
I think SW has become a safe haven for me to talk about this, and the people have been supportive and understanding. These people definitely are making a change in someone's life and I'm grateful for them. 🙏
