Currently I am not in treatment at all, primarily due to finances and partly due to being very pregnant. Right now my OB is watching me, because they are aware of my diagnosis, but they didn't want to start meds since I wasn't on any. I had two previous pregnancies before I was diagnosed.

But I have been before. In my life I've been to three different therapists and a pdoc.

Therapist 1 was a child psychologist actually. She was very nice and I think she could have helped me a lot if I stuck with it. I don't remember a lot about it.

Therapist 2 was when I was 13 after my mom died. She was not a good fit for me. She seemed very cold and annoyed every time I was there. I stopped going after only about 3 sessions.

Therapist 3 was when I was 29, one year before diagnosis. I was not in a good place and went to work. When I got there I had a complete melt down in front of my supervisor, and screamed something about suicidal thoughts... not good. Anyway they wrote me up and I had to go to therapy. She was really good. I liked her a lot. She gave me a lot of exercises to do like writing down my feelings, etc. Then she would go over it with me. Of course, she didn't know she was dealing with a bipolar person, so I cycled up and felt better so I stopped going.

When I was diagnosed I was only seeing a pdoc but I couldn't afford it because my health insurance didn't cover it, so I stopped going and have just been going along as best I can. I don't recommend that, it is exhausting.
