Yes, I can relax when I get home, thankfully. I too, had to lay down for about an hour. We went over a LOT. I'm sure she had no idea of all she was about to hear, and it was work telling it. She started out with a family tree, and her paper was completely covered with this tragedy and that by the time we were done, and I forgot a few. I was totally flat with no emotion as I talked to her. Amazing to me how I can tell my story with no emotion as though it happened to someone else.
My pdoc is sure I have PTSD, but not so sure about bipolar. He asked me at the end of the session on Monday if I was SURE I was bipolar, so I didn't really have time to ask him about it. I just read a book on bipolar, and it seemed just like me. But then I don't know as much about PTSD and how close they may resemble each other.
Like we've all talked about before, the dx isn't that important, but I sure hope T knows how to focus on what makes me act the way I do and how to fix it.
It's reassuring that T's husband is a pdoc, and that they both know my pdoc.
I'm so glad you're all here to talk to.
