I'm feeling pretty isolated (but surrounded by people to whom I really can't share these too-heavy things).
I'm sorry. Thank you.

Please don't ever feel like you need to apologize for
Anything you share here - it is a safe place with others here who understand.
As far as the doctor....they should be a partner in your treatment, not someone who dictates what is best for you. After all, you are the only one who knows what is going on in your head. There are lots of choices besides Abilify (which didn't help me at all), such as Lamictal, Cymbalta, to name a few. I got so fed up with one of my doctors that I told him I no longer had faith in his abilities to help. It was a wake up call for him as well. You have the power - always remember that
