MANIA--OH, NO, NOT AGAIN!!!!!

Dear Diary, I have been having a good day today as far as happenings go.  Met with my daughter's counselor, Loree.  She is awesome.  She is a recovering addict.  Was a hippie back in the day.  So liberal and patient-oriented in her practice.  Anywho, I was talking to her about my disease and into some of the personals of my life (such as past sexual abuse).  Then I told her about my mania symptoms and worsening of my OCD.  We proceeded to talk and I told her that my father was coming back down on Sept. 5th and that he had messed with me and that my daughter  is 16 and I am worried about it.  That is what is triggering me right now-and me not even aware of it at first.  She asked did I have a counselor in place for when he is gonna be here and I said no.  She proceeded to take her business card out of her purse and circle her cell number and told me if I needed any kinda of support or had any problems to call her and that we would work together to get me stable, etc.  I thought that was so frickin' nice.  You picture most docs as being for money before the patient, but not her.  I feel blessed to have met her today. Signing Off With Love,Chelle  aka ZanyBeeper
