Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
the irritability just won't stop. I saw my dr. Yesterday. She told me that in order to oversee my meds, I have to pay my former psych np a visit. She said she can't take over my care without me doing this. So I called her to make an appointment and she left me a voicemail saying "we don't do 'freebies' anymore". She saw me in the past when I couldn't afford to because they didn't accept my insurance. She said maybe we could do a phone visit. I tried to call her back but she doesn't answer. Plus, I had a tiff with my douchebag landlord. I emailed him to let him him know that someone in the house (there ar multiple units in the house) was smoking. I cannot stand that smell. It triggers me because my parents were abusive and chain smokers when I was a kid. I link the two. I also asked if he would please go easy on my rental renewal. His response "when you track down the smell, let me know. And also, I am running a business, not a charity". I responded in a respectful way. He pisses me the hell off. I am feeling very financially vulnerable, and him saying this really triggered me.
Also, every noise is an assault on my ears. It is amplified 1,000x and it is making me even MORE irritable. My neighbor was playing his bass guitar when I got home from work, and it pissed me off. I stomped around and made as much noise as possible. Last night I was so irritable I had a hard time going to sleep.
Also, I have to travel downstate again for work in a few days. I didn't think it was making me anxious, but the closer it gets, the more I think I might be very anxious.
Too many things are happening. I feel very overwhelmed by it all. My irritability is mounting and I don't know how to make it stop.

I've talked about my friend who insists that we talk on the phone. Well, she called me in June and I have yet to feel like calling her back. I have pretty much decided not to call her back. I texted her twice giving her the heads up why I wasn't getting back to her and crickets! She could at least type "okay". I'm not kidding when I say I hate talking on the phone. To use a new term...

What are your five favorite tv shows right now? **And hey, if you're a tv watcher of any sort (or love movies, or really anything pop culture-related for that matter), why not also check out our sister group, "That's Entertainment!" - https://www.dailystrength.org/group/thats-entertainment-tv-and-film-group

You don't need to see your old med person, just as for a telephone referral to the new psydr.
Landlord answer seems reasonable, at least he acknowledge your issue and told you what you can do.
Guitar player, landlord first, then write a note, put it on their door....If you don't stop electric guitar, I'm calling cops. So they won't hassle you.
Do you know how to do your job? Stay in the Now, projecting will make you upset.
Having a phone appt is a good alternative... My vet does that with me and I appreciate it so much...
Stomping around the apt is going to have others complaining about you ...It's not worth in IMHO ... Ear plugs might help
Big hug TC... xo
Can you do something you find relaxing or that will slow things down to do? Maybe a walk, coloring, a drive (not sure if that would make you more anxious or help you relax). I am trying to think of quiet things. Maybe visualization exercise. There's a free Harmony app for Droids that you could check out.
I really hope you feel better. I have been in your shoes and it sucks.
