The fact that you are aware that this is not a good place to be is a good thing. Keep telling your Pdoc that you are not okay until he/she listens. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. And if you are not seeing a Pdoc, don\'t give up the search. I have lived in several states and each time I\'ve had to find new doctors, fun, fun, fun! Worth it in the long run though. Be persistent, make phone calls. You will eventually find a doctor that makes a difference. In the mean while go to your local county mental health clinic.

What you are going through is very similar to what I went through just a week or so ago. I am a rapid cycler anyway, but because of alot of stress and not a lot of sleep I was going up and down all week long, several times a day. I also got into a fight with my husband (I was VERY irritable, and I started it, but it ended up with me cutting myself, just like you, and I, too, had promised never to do that again.) I don\'t know what meds you\'re on, but my guess is something is either off there? Do you know what\'s setting it off for you (stress, lack of sleep, etc?) My main advice to you is to GET A DOCTOR TO HELP YOU RIGHT AWAY. In the meantime, if you need to talk, I\'m here. Hugs to you.

I\'m glad that you are calling someone. Finding a good doctor has been an IMMENSE struggle for me, but finally I have found someone who FINALLY listens to me. Did you say you live in Canada? I\'m not sure about there, but you can look up and rate doctors (and hear other people\'s comments online). Also, a good THERAPIST has been probably the most helpful person that I have found to deal with this disorder. I don\'t want to overwhelm you, but I would definitly try to find one for you as well.
