I was diagnosed with bipolar about two years ago. This followed a suicide attack that was, to say the least, completely unexpected and freaky! I was started right away on meds and it took going through a couple to find one that worked, until now! I also went into therapy; however my counselor has since left her practice and I'm just hanging right now. I've done very well, up until about three months ago. I've noticed that I have rapid-cylcing, and even on the medication, it seems to be getting worse. Right now I have anxiety, I'm irritable, somewhat depressed, I simply "don't care", and the worst part....I have the racing thoughts that are about to drive me mad! Since I'm relatively new to this diagnosis and have been doing so well on my meds, I'm confused as to what to do! I often have the "feeling" that I should stop my meds, although I never have, or that I should just leave my home because I feel so smothered! Even the faintest thing sets me off and I feel I can't handle it. All in all, I'm having several symptoms that I can't seem to control right now. Is it normal to still have this even on medication? Is there any help for me?
