the doc will tell me it is and tell me I just have to deal still but Iam tried of just dealing, so much more and IAM gonig nuts

The doctor should not tell you that it is how it is and deal with it. There are many good doctors and medications out there to help you. Treating this is possible and can be successful, sometimes it takes a while to find the right cocktail of medications that work for you but it is worth it. They will not cure the bipolar but they can help you to make it manageable.

Sorry to hear your are feeling so bad. I hope your therapy goes well. Remember, we are thinking of you and wish you well.

I told my mom, but, she always knew there was a problem. My dad took it pretty well, too. He has suggested meds before.

I would tell the therapist everything you just explained here.

I also have been having all those symptoms, lately. I had to get on a different medication to help me get somwe relief.

Welcome, Feel free to share vent or whatever you feel like.

Try to hang in their until your doctor's appt. They will be able to help. I understand that it is hard to be patient with everything you're feeling. Be completely honest with the therapist - you're good at describing your feelings. We care about you. If you need to talk, we're here.
