Psychodynamic therapy

This therapy helped me a lot, I think. It helped me deal with my issues openly, as I am the type to conceal what I feel, only to let it build up and explode, which is unhealthy.  I guess I should start my own psychoanalysis, talk about things and the dream analysis. Anyway, I feel great studying psychology, as a tool to help myself, especially in learning about who I am, what I am.  I guess that's it for today. I don't have much to talk about. Maybe next time.  Regards, S.

As usual, the introductory post

Salam and hi.  I don't know where to begin. Well, first off, I am a mother of 2 boys. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2014 and since the commencement of treatment, I have been stuck in between the two extremes of emotions, which meant my mood has been stagnant for almost 3 years now, with depression paying me a visit now and then, but never the manic phase. Hence the title; Maman In The Middle. Maman is French for 'mom' and well, in the middle is exactly how it felt being me these days.  I no longer enjoy living, but I am also not depressed. I just feel...empty and hollow, as if nothing could ever bring me joy again. But bipolar is not my name.  I am me, and this illness DOES NOT define me. I believe writing about it would help me find myself again, in a way or another, as well as this online course on psychology that I just started taking.  Wish me luck! Regards,  S.
