i have bipolar and i started having episodes more frequently. i had 2 IN SCHOOL last week, Tuesday and Thursday. I was CONVINCED someone was after me/ out to get me and i was terrified of everyone and i feel so bad for freaking out my friends.
A teacher referred me to a free 10 day therapy sessions. my first one is this Monday after school and im so nervous that they wont believe me and think im making it up, or brush it off as some less urgent mental disorder.
iknow whats wrong but im afraid they wont know. i hope these sessions will help me discover lore about myself/my illness and fix me because im getting sick of it. my friends don’t deserve what i did to them.

Long term, psychotherapy is very beneficial, but if you were to be diagnosed with bipolar, psychiatry helps such people the most. Of couse stress regulation, cignitive restructuring and just learning how to live with it is important, but the stability that meds offer works wonders for a lot of people.
And they cant brush it off, nor tell you r making stuff up, they are trained to help you.
If you have been experiencing episodes of mania and depressin in cycles, for long periods of time, that is more then enough they need to hear.
