Debate

I go see my doctor today and I'm trying to decide whether or not I'm going to tell him about passing out. I have this feeling if I do he's going to either up my meds or do some other thing I'm not going to be happy with. It's been a month since I've seen him and I still haven't found out if I'm going to get free or affordable meds. Yesterday I seriously considered not going today but I have to talk to my caseworker about those meds. My caseworker is one of those social workers with his phd that always stresses "doctor" when he refers to himself. I figure he wanted to be a psych but couldn't cut it. Acually, the worst part of going to the doctor is the drive, I hate driving, hate being in cars, but it's 30 minutes to my clinic. It's pretty much an irrational fear, an offshoot of psychotic episodes where I believed I could see the future and the future held death in a car for me. The debate rages. Will I or won't I go? Will I or won't I tell? I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose this one.

If you are actually going to spend the time and money to see the quack, at least tell him everything you think is important; passing out sounds kinda pertinent to me...

It's odd that you mention driving: My wife and I recently decided to write a book about all the crazy crap we see and deal with in the zany world of today. While she is not BP, she see's the world just like one. The idea actually sprang from a notion I had about a post for my blog about DWBP (Driving While Bipolar). The driving stuff will now just be a single chapter in a whole tome about the insanity we call modern, or should I say pomo, society.

I got free meds from the manufacturer. It's easy; just ask if you have any questions.
