ANAMEMOIR

Today, I consulted with a psychiatrist for the first time in my life. I just got diagnosed with PTSD and Bipolar.

Had prescriptions today for antipsychotic (Risperidone), bipolar (Divalproex sodium), and sleeping pills (clonazepam). Three meds. lol.

I will never use this as an excuse for my behavior but only sought help to help me breathe and sleep…and to calm down. It will never define who I am…but only an assistance to have proper support. I just teased myself before with these diagnoses, but when it would come from a professional to you…it’s different. It is scary and would make you feel less worthy. But I’m a writer…I know all the good words to encourage myself despite these.

I will come back to write more after my stabilization.
