That's a little how I felt today, RapidFlyer. I've been doing very well for a while now, but today my mom was like, "Your dad and I want to talk to your psychiatrist." Aargh. (However, where my case differs from yours is that my mom just wants to talk about when I move back into the dormitory this coming semester. Stil, I hate when my parents talk to my p-doc, because my mom always ends saying hurtful things and my dad is evasive, as usual.
I'm sorry to hear that you had a med increase. I hope that will do the trick. It's true that it can be confusing, having bipolar and then getting manic symptoms, because for me at least, mania feels great. It feels like the opposite of being sick.
