- Hello, Erica, you look great. How have you been doing lately?
- I’ve been doing really good. I went to my mom’s house for a New Year’s Eve celebration with my sisters and their kids, and it was really nice. I finally called Julia back a couple days ago after one of our sessions, and we talked for a while. I told her I’d been going to therapy, and I missed her a lot. She told me she missed me too, and she wanted to spend more time together. We actually ended up having a really deep conversation about the past, and I was honest with her about why I’ve been so reluctant to mend things and reach out to her.

- That’s amazing to hear, Erica. It sounds like you’ve been making a lot of progress.

- I’ve had “dark moments”, but I don’t think I’d call them “dark periods” anymore. I drank an energy drink before work the other day and it made me feel really hyper, and then I started to feel self-conscious and anxious that my coworkers were going to think I was crazy or something. I started to retreat like we’ve talked about, except this time, after a few minutes of ruminating on it, I realized I was using my negative coping mechanisms again.
- *Stops to think*
- Instead of going home and lying in bed, I went home and looked for a local Bipolar Disorder support group to join. I figured, I might not be the only one who feels like this, and it would be nice to connect with people that understand what I’m going through. I’m really looking forward to this next chapter of my life. I don’t feel so alone anymore, and I don’t feel ashamed either.

- I really have. I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting lately, and I realized I’ve missed out on a lot of years with my family and a lot of potential relationships because of how I was coping with the way I felt. I decided I want to step back into the dating world, and Julia’s daughter suggested I download Tinder so I made a profile last night.
- That’s exciting to hear! It sounds like you have a lot of positive changes coming to fruition. Have you experienced any more of your “dark periods” since the last time we spoke?
- Erica has exhibited clear signs of enhanced awareness. Over the course of her treatment and our time together, she has displayed tremendous growth. Her dark periods have decreased significantly, and she is no longer relying on negative defense mechanisms to cope. Her attempts at forming new relationships, combined with her reconciled relationships with her family members, further indicate the transformative change and growth Erica has undergone.
