Doing anything and everything to avoid actually working in Mental Health, 2017

So I did end up keeping my appointment with my therapist. It was Wednesday, July 5th. I showed up in a super good mood, and instead of deeming me “fixed” she was smart enough to take that into consideration. We are now exploring the possibility of me being bipolar. So that’s super exciting. My next appointment is Friday, July 21st and my homework is to keep track of my mood on a daily tracker from my last appointment to my next appointment. So far it shows my mood all over the fucking place.

But since I was in a super good mood, she got more information out of me than she usually does. I even talked about my hubby and our latest big “issue”. I caught him smoking pot in the house…again. I caught him in the act and he actually tried to lie about it to my face, but saying it was vape thing. A) Pot has a very distinct smell B) It said “Pot Town” or something like that on it C) Only a high person would think they could get away with that lie. And he was up for his annual physical for is CDL (commercial drivers license) FOR WORK but of course he didn’t schedule that because a drug test is probably included and now his CDL is expired. (Insert anger here) Yet I was sitting there in that chair in a super good mood talking about it at as if it was nothing. Which is wasn’t/isn’t. And I’m pissed at him for putting his job in jeopardy like that. They moved him into the Sales department a few months ago, so he’s not driving regularly anymore BUT STILL.

She does want to sign me up for DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) with a different therapist because apparently she doesn’t offer it and she’s thinking it’s what I need. My first thought when she mentioned it was “Yay, I’m being passed around again”. But we’ll see. Supposedly this type of therapy is done in either group or one-on-one settings, but most commonly in groups. She’d have to refer me out though, because no one at the clinic I go to offers it. It’s supposed to be a pretty intensive form of therapy. We’ll see how that works with my work schedule if she does have success in finding someone.

K, time to go catch up on all of you guys.
