I know I started a thread once, comparing him to the little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead. :)
I had some stress at work last month, and a lot of sleep disturbance. And my beloved canine friend died. I haven't been very stable since, sleeping way too much sometimes, and feeling a bit better than well in the bad sort of way at other times.
He's at his very best when I'm unstable. He manages to help me find my center. He helps pull me out of my brain where I sometimes get stuck when I'm hypomanic, or just short of hypomanic. My thoughts whirl and race and on some level I enjoy the feeling that I can really think and process things better than I usually can. Yet it's exhausting and it feels physically bad. Risperdal helps with the obsessive thoughts. But my therapist helps pull me out of my brain and into my *being* self, where it's calm, far better than Risperdal ever could. I don't know how he does it.
Sometimes therapy still feels like magic.
