You certainly are the Cat’s Pajamas! 😻

Yo Tay, I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 / ADHD this past June. I just turned 35, but the instance of revelation was something so freeing In many ways. The past 10 years have been manic paced cycle of dyphoric burn out and frequent voyages into the mysts of Anhedonia for me personally. I spent lots of those years self medicating and sliding further and further into the black. As luck would have it a seeming disaster led to my diagnosis and getting real proactive help to feeling like the real me; free of judgement, resilient in equanimity, and generous in love, grace, humor, and compassion. I never forgot the beauty when I walked in the black. I walked there so long I decided I missed the light. When I felt the sun on my face and the music in my heart, I felt lighter, it felt good. Medications can be very tricky and it's a personal choice, but for me and meta analysis of the research generally agrees a combo of med's and therapy generally has the best chance of long term success, whatever that means. I started cognitive behavioral therapy and it's been really good. Anyway, I loved your writing; keep it up! My therapist recommended the same and I do write a bit, most song lyrics though. cheers and hope your day is funtastic!!
