Aww, I'm so sorry to hear what you're going through. I remember when I got diagnosed and then my pdoc was trying all kinds of medications for me. I just thought nothing would fix me and that I had lost my mind. I didn't know what to do. Well, in my case, it took a hospitalization to get it right. The doctor there had bipolar himself. He took one look at my meds, said they were all too low of a dosage to do anything, and then went on to raise all the dosages. I quickly felt better. I had to go through kind of a recovery period and take some time to get to know the "new" me. But the meds have made all the difference. The hospitalization was a blessing in diguise.
So please hang in there. I know you feel like you are stuck on a merry-go-round that won't stop. But it will. Once they gets your meds right you will be just fine. Please hang in there. I get the chills just thinking how hard it was when they were trying all kinds of meds to get me sane. But there is life after that. I'm saying a prayer for you and I wish you only the best.
