Um...something I forgot to mention

I start one-on-one therapy next week (on Bob's Birthday lol). Chris promised to not let me bail due to anxiety.


Anyhow, one thing I kinda forgot to mention, but my close friends and family who read this blog have probably known for a long time....turns out I hot only have Bipolar Disorder, but a personality disorder as well.  tghe official terms is "Personality Disorder NOS" which means 'not otherwise specified.  It's basically the clinician's way of saying "Yes, there are traits of several different personality disorders, but not enough of one for us to figure it out exactly, and we need more clinical data on this person to further define it and be able to treat it properly"  I envision that sentence written at the bottom of my patient chart as a note to my new psychiatrist ending with "She's brilliant and quirky, but I have no CLUE how to diagnostcally categorize this. Best of Luck!"
