Hi! From what you are saying it does sound like bipolar with the ups and downs. There is also something that I noticed when you said you hurt yourself after one of your arguments that sounds like Borderline Personality Disorder - which also has a lot of ups and downs. You can look that up as well. Maybe you have a duel diagnosis - many people do.

The easiest thing to do is write down what you want to discuss and bring that in with you. However, they are usually pretty good about leading on the intact visit. You do have a child now so getting well and feeling better and being someone that can care for their child on their own is important. You can do this .
