Hi Jacques
 
Nice to see you back here.  Sorry to hear that depression is affecting you again.  Although it is certainly positive that you have learned a lot about yourself.   Can you tell us a bit about that? How were you able to see yourself from a different perspective? What does this different diagnoses mean to you? Aside from the diagnoses what else have you learned?

I haven't been here for a while... I don't even know where to start. I learned a lot about myself in the past 8 months or better said I was able to see myself in a different perspective. The diagnosis has changed to Bipolar-Depression. It explained a lot of the oddities that I have been dealing with. The medical professionals were also very careful with the doses as they wanted to prevent a flip to the other side.

About 4 months ago I had a period of hypomania: not much need for sleep, a lot of partying, rebuilding my life and business: everything was hunky dory. After the 10 days the man with the hammer came by and he slammed me back to earth. Back to depression and all the thoughts that go with depression.

Now working with a psychiatrist through CBT...
