Notes to Self

Not everything is a symptom.

Some symptoms are environmental and not based on a specific disorder.

Stress exacerbates symptoms and makes them worse.

I need to read the book I bought for myself (DBT for Bipolar), learn some distress tolerance, and learn emotional regulation.

I AM making progress (however you want to define that) in therapy and with my pdoc.

I need to be less hypervigilant about turning everything into a disorder or a symptom of a disorder.

I still need to work on that list of things I actually LIKE about myself.
