Welcome to our club! Sorry to hear about the therapists. I'm a therapist myself as well as a person with bipolar, and I get on my soap box about how most therapists out there don't understand bipolar and don't provide good treatment. It's very frustrating. Please keep looking though - a good therapist is worth their weight in gold.

I'm also hopeful for your meds - it takes a bit to dial everything in, just keep advocating for yourself when you feel like you need a change. I'm wishing you as smooth a ride as possible!

Thanks for the welcome and for all you do for this community! I have another therapy appointment scheduled for next week and will keep looking if needed. Hopefully having a diagnosis will help me weed through the crowd to find someone better suited.
