Get your ass to a psychiatrist. I would love to, but I'm too poor to afford health insurance and too rich to receive government aid. Without insurance, mental health services up here cost something like $700/hour. All of the sliding-scale places require you to be essentially homeless before they will offer aid. Edit: Also, the governor is closing down (or is looking to close down) several of the mental health facilities in this state. A facility in Bangor is going underwater right now. |

My therapist left the employ at the Student Health Center today. I have no idea why, what happened, blah blah blah, all I DO know is 1) she's physically okay, she didn't die or anything, 2) it was a shock to her supervisors and coworkers, 3) DBT is dissolving next week since she was the only one with the knowledge to keep it going properly, and 4) I have to start all over again with a new therapist.
I don't know how safe I can be this weekend, and it's been so long since I've had that uncertainty that I'm terrified.

Well fuck. Time for pill roulette. That lamictal isn't strong enough to remain effective without it giving my side-effects anymore. Fucking joy.

So. I finally dragged my ass to a therapist. He's the same one I had about a year ago, before I decided to ditch therapy and fix everything up all by myself. He's still easy to talk to, even if I hated the fact that I had to tell every single thing that has happened to me since January and I probably ended up sounding like a paranoid, depressed asshole.
I felt pretty shitty by the time I got home, but I'm glad I went, anyway. I'm just so fed up being depressed and hungry all the time.
Also, possible medication. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but at this point I'm willing to give it a go.

Guess who's having hallucinations? If you guessed Shane, you'd be right! HUZZAH.

Guess who's having hallucinations? If you guessed Shane, you'd be right! HUZZAH. Can anyone guess the best time ever to have hallucinations? No? How about the worst time? When you're driving a god damn car. I have restricted my driving until I can talk to my doctor (hopefully later today) and get my dad to drive me to my appt. |

www.webmd.com/bipolar-disorder/guide/hypomania-mania-symptomsThis website does a good job of differentiating between mania and hypomania. I should know. I myself am bipolar. But it turns out I was right. Hypomania phases are the phases when you are truly happy and energetic, but not hubristic. Mania is characterized by false happiness and hubris.

Who here is depressed?? I am. I'm fucking sick of this being unable to find a job BS...a lot of times I think the people are doing this to me, because they think it's funny. It's not that the interview I had went bad, it's just I'm really sick of this "Oh, we don't have an openning right now bs", but they hire 2 people while I was waiting to be interviewed. Also these people's refusal to train me on the cash register, is really annoying...I have a fucking question how the fuck am I suppose to learn if you don't want to train me, but you complain that I don't have training/skill...here's a clue,train me & and then I can do the job you idiots and stop this bs. I really think people just want me to fail at life sometimes...  |

There are plenty of people who're already trained and applying for the same jobs. |

Basically, yeah. It sucks to be young and/or inexperienced right now.
