Living with this kind of condition is incredibly hard to deal with
Finally, I got checked by my new psychiatrist. He assisted me well and educated me on the differences between my symptoms. When my doctor said, 'Bipolar is a lifetime illness, anak. Totoo na meron ka niyan. Hindi mo 'yan gawa-gawa,' it felt like a weight was lifted. He told me to show the diagnosis to those who think I’m just making it up or 'nagdadrama' lang. I really hope people finally understand.
Ang hirap din kasi na sobrang mahal magpakonsulta, magsisimula ka sa psychologist bago i-refer sa psychiatrist para sa diagnosis at gamot. And let’s be honest, ang mahal ng maintenance.
That’s why I’m so grateful for my current line of work. Because of the HMO benefits and medical assistance here at Accenture, I managed to get a 3-month stock of my meds. Thank you, Lord. Sana lahat ng BPO companies, ganito rin ang benefits for mental health.
