Hi, my name is Stephanie I am bipolar, I rapid cycle like you wouldn't believe. I posted an intro yesterday but I think it was in the wrong forum. I am 32, a mother, wife and an animal lover. I would like to say I am a simple person but I would be telling a lie. I started my meds again for the 100th time a little while ago, and they actually work this time. When I woke up today I went to get a refill and the pharmacy said *you need to get a prior authorization before we refill this* So I have been calling my doctor, insurance and pharmacy all day trying to get this taken care of. Now i'm loosing my mind, i'm having anxiety issues, panic attacks and severe mood swings. I hope they get it figured out soon today. It's Friday and I know nobody will be in an office till monday But other than this issue I'm hoping to find friends here, I don't know anyone outside of my computer that is bipolar and it's hard to talk to anyone that doesn't experience this. My family and husband can't comprehend how hard it is to control my moods, or to even get out of bad on the bad days. They just say, force yourself or ignore it, or what is wrong with you. It would just be nice to know others that go through this, and know i'm not alone
