Climbing Back Outta The Hole

Hi.

So you may have noticed that I disappeared for a couple months there.

I would love to say that I was out exploring Europe, or making my directorial debut, but I was just in a deep Depression Session.

That's what happens when you have bipolar disorder!

The past month or two (or five) have been the worst I've had in a number of years and I'm tentatively declaring my depressive phase to be over, for now at least.

I've never been so deep in the hole that I felt as bad as I have lately, but I'm trying to implement some good coping strategies.

I DID try seeing a psychiatrist, of whom I begged to change my medications before I went home for Christmas because I knew it would only get worse from there, but like every psychiatrist I've ever seen, they really hate giving meds to people with bipolar. So I stuck it out in a pillow fort, eating almost exclusively ice cream and crying at every turn.

TLDR: I'm a bad bitch who briefly let the sadness get me but I'm back on my feet and will be posting regularly again here in the new year.
