I'm not so sure that I don't mind. I'm in graduate school, and it sure is challenging when I go through weeks of stupidity.
But I have to agree with my doctor -- 'at least you are functional'. She's right. My mood swings are much milder and I can at least function through them without quitting jobs and going into the hospital.
But mental health care sure has a long way to go if the best we can aspire to be is 'functional'.
I'm in graduate school for mental health counseling. I'm sick of letting the system push me around. I want to be a part of it.
