About My Therapy
Everyone thought I was soooo stable, the rock for everyone else's support. I was happy and sure of myself. Looking back, I did have some depression as a child, but nobody realized it.
I do not intend to sound trite, but my depression began when I was 22 years old, just after I married in Kansas City. When I was 24, I had a miscarriage and my marriage was not sound. I called my gynacologist and told him I had a hormonal imbalance and was ruining my marriage. He told me, "No, you have an emotional problem and need to see a Psychologist". After a good cry, I made the call. After 4 years of counseling and group, a child, a better job, additional education and a divorce, I thought all my problems were behind me.
My daughter and I moved to Atlanta when I was 28 and not long after things started falling apart - again. Upon the recommendation of my sister, I began seeing her sister-in-law, Elaine, as a counselor. She was affiliated with Lila Bonner-Miller's Psychiatric practice and I joined their group therapy which used art therapy as an adjunct.
I was in this group setting for 7 years. This was before the days of medication and diagnoses for me. I'd like to say my problems ended there, but they did not. I have spent most of my adult life involved one way or the other in mental health settings.
I'm not really sure what my "official" diagnosis is, but I would say I have a large component of OCD (Obsessive Compulvise Disorder) and Bipolar Type II (not full blown, but real none the less).
The good news is, since I am no longer in the "work-force", my illness is very controlled. But, I am alone most of the time and do not have to interact with or please anyone which greatly relieves the stress and concurrently, the depression. Since I am no longer able to work in my first chosen career, being mentally healthier is a good trade-off!
