Congratulations on passing your exam and what you suggest sounds like an interesting idea. Whatever the outcome please try to be kind to yourself and don’t beat yourself up about stuff.

Sounds like a very interesting experiment. Hope it turns out to be a fruitful one as well. Are you on any medication? I understand it’s supposed to even out those highs and lows.

@OlderSometimesWiser No, the medication was recommended by a psychiatrist, but my therapist told me to wait a little bit until our next session. Since I had the exam, I post poned the session until this month. I'm observing and analyzing from afar how things are going to turn out.

I hope that this will help you, and I'm willing to lend an ear, whether you feel mania or depression. I don't know a lot about psychology, but I do know that this is a very difficult illness to live with.

@Nightwings Thank you!
Your offer really warms my heart, I absolutely appreciate it.

Good luck. I'd like to know if you find it beneficial when it's needed most. Both during and after events

@Friendlyperson no matter how a job is viewed we all still have human responsibility outside of our work world

I have borderline personality disorder, which is lovingly called The Bipolar Express.

I’ve built the bridge you’re talking about and built it around my dbt skills. When I realize I’m in a black split I go do what I need to do and it brings me back around.
