I consulted with a psychiatrist ulit kahapon, after 3 years. 3 years ako nagmemeds unsupervised. I know mali kaya pinush ko na makapagpa-consult ulit. Yung dati kong psych sa NCMH ayaw ako bigyan ng diagnosis dahil daw sa stigma, baka daw maging issue sa work. Sabi naman ng psych ko kahapon sa PGH, optional naman daw kung ididisclose ko sa work. So ayun, after mahabang assessment, parang leaning towards daw ako sa bipolar II disorder, pero the official diagnosis is after 2 to 3 follow-up consultations pa daw. I guess it feels nice(?) to finally have a name for something that's wrong with me. Now doing my research on bipolar II, marami akong moments na "ahh kaya pala". Now, I will know better how to navigate life with this mental illness and hopefully relationships as well. This is a huge step in trying to better myself. Psychotherapy next!
