Issues, issues and issues!

Looks like there are some things I have to force my therapist to talk about, and they are about me? It is interesting to me that we all think, or at least I do? Think that I am seemingly normal, and yet I still have some problems that persist, beyond the BP. So much work….It seems that no matter how much I try to work on things, it turns out that sometimes I am not as good as I thought.

Well, what I think I will do is make a list of things that maybe I should work on and then when I meet with therapist I will start at the top and work my way down! And then I will be normal? Lol

(Keep in mind that I think, and she agrees to some degree that some of my past “issues” were because of my bi-polar, as I was just diagnosed like 2 years ago. So maybe some of my stuff is from that? But I would love to hear some input???)

My P. Dr. said that I should try and do something like this with my therapist and maybe I will start dealing with some of these issues she thinks I may have?

Anyone have any ideas? Not on my issues, but on how do you talk or bring up things with your therapist that you should talk about, but you’re a little unsure how to and what things to bring up?

For Example: I hate taking orders from people, especially if I have no respect from them. So how would I bring it up to my therapist, or maybe uhmm, I hate when someone leaves me a list. It doesn’t matter what is on the list, it is just that I hate the thought that they do that!!!

I hope this makes sense? I am just looking for a little input?

Thanks
