As for the meds, it sounds like it's time to start all over. Fortunately (and unfortunately) there are hundreds of medications used to treat bipolar disorder. I'd discuss the vicious cycle you've been going through and see if you can put your heads together and come up with a way to break it. Medication and lifestyle changes maybe? Like adding something you like to do once a week (yoga, an art class etc.) so that you don't completely isolate.

Sometimes I can go out for a walk with the kids. For the last few days the weather has been awful so we have been stuck in the house. I am too embarrassed to go to a class at the Y until I lose some weight. I know it is silly, but I just don't feel comfortable in my body, and I don't want other people seeing is jiggling around. I do have some equipment at home, so maybe I will try to set aside a few minutes every day to use it.
