Hi Kimba42
You are not alone, trust me. Bipolar or not.....I am Mslainie, my son is Bipolar, my daughter is adhd, I go thru situation depression here and there. But last year I had a complete hysterectomy and it gave me a whole new respect for the Bipolar Illness, I had insomnia, panic attacks, start things dont finish, I never felt symtoms just to name a few in 41years. Now I am on hormones, but if I forget to take it, I feel nutty, ungrounded, my teens 16 & 14 and my Mom know right away I forgot my hormone. I been on this great board for over year and the amazing people you will see post, so welcome, it has helped me and I thought it was only for my BP son but It has greatly helped his sometimes overwelmed MOM. I forget who but I posted one day and they suggested I get my own councilor, I always taking care of everyone else did and I see her every 2-4 weeks. I wasnt thrill at first, but I dont talk to many people about my son's Bipolar. If you dont live it or with it, it is not easy to describe the illness. But when I made my 1st appointment, I thought my plate was full and then my Best friend/ Boy Friend on-off 7years died at 35. He was Bipolar, not that its relavent, but the sweetest, kind, fun, loving man.
I miss him so much. But anyway I would try another therapist or see them more. Or call your psy doc and get an appointment asap. I called my GYN in middle of night, I thought I was losing my mind. So maybe you can talk to someone, even your primary doc to help you thru.
I thank you for posting and letting me talk about my Boyfriend.
Keep posting and Good Luck.....
Mslainie
