Are you sure you're sick (bipolar-wise)? Or was this a meltdown in the sense that these things happen (i.e. boatloads of stress, breaking point) however horrible? I know that I've heard things when very anxious/upset, my last psychiatrist told me that can happen with a lot of anxiety. I don't know if that's what is happening with you or if this is part of an episode. Either way, I hope you feel better soon.

Can you take a day off to gather yourself together?

Take good care
Thanks, Ultramar,
I'm not sure if stress is a factor or not. Obviously, stress is big now! I have been trying to get meds straight for the past couple of months, but I have had some other medical factors that are slowing the process down. My main concern is that I am beginning to lose control. As long as I feel control, I can handle the ups and downs. I will give it time and try to talk to my t tomorrow.
Thank you for helping me to feel a little more grounded!
