New to bipolar II
The other day, towards the end of my session, my therapist determined that i may have bipolar II. This was totally new news to me. But once i researched more about it on the internet , & reflected back on my past, it made total sense! I still have not goote. A formal diagnosis, but i have been put on mood stabilizers, so itll be interesting to see how these help. Firsttime ive been treated with these. I ordered a couple of books on the subject because i want to educate myself further. I also got a mood tracker app on my phone, so i can chart my moods. Just a little nervous cuz docs r out of town for 3 wks, and w/ a new possible diagnosis, & meds not in full swing yet, its a little nerve racking

Don\'t let the med issue become too concerning unless they make you feel worse then seek someone temporarily until your doc gets back if you need too. It\'s always good to educate. I am glad that it made sense to you somewhat. Keep options open. It\'s always stressful when our moods change so much. I was on some meds to stabilize my mood and they made it worse but was able to wait till doctor got back. Sounds like you made some good progress. Good for you!
