Hi, Shawniie, and welcome.

I wonder if the situational anxiety might not be making the bipolar and ADD worse.
Is there anything you can do about the anxiety to help you feel better? Have you
tried to do anything to relieve some of that?

I think that situational anxiety must be one of the biggest threats to your feeling tone related to bipolar illness and to ADD. Whatever you're able to do to get relief from that might help to keep the bipolar illness much more stable.

I'd be interested to know how you're managing it all. Maybe there's some help
someone here might give.

Take care of yourself. Glad you've joined the group.
