Dear Heather, Welcome to the Board. I am fairly new here, as well and have bp. I have been diagnosed for 15 years and have been medicated properly for about 10 years and doing very well and working. You will get to the bottom of this with a psychiatrist, for sure. And it is great that you are keeping track of your moods. Make sure you don't drink any alcohol as it is a depressant and will affect your mood and throw it off. Congratulations for taking care of yourself!
