Hi agent,

I can sympathize with the way you're feeling...it's very frustrating, especially when you feel so bad and nothing seems to help. Definitely get yourself to a psychiatrist and to therapy...try to do these things...keep a regular schedule, especially sleep. You' ll have to work with the pdoc to find something to help you sleep...and if something doesn't work, call her within a day or two so you can try something else for sleep. Second, try to get some excercise of some sort. Thirdly eat a balanced diet, and include some kick-butt vitamins with lots of B-complex as well as fish oil. Lastly, find a good therapist, preferably who uses CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) techniques...all these things have been shown to improve outcomes for bipolar patients. Good luck, and don't forget that we're here for ya!
