Hi I'm Jay I have Bipolar II and I just found out about 8 months ago. Everything I've been reading says that the meds won't 'fix' me and that this is a chronic lifelong condition, but that's the thing. I don't know to what extent they should work.

I just feel like there's something wrong inside me. Like this horrible feeling that makes me want to scream and yell, but when I open my mouth, no sound comes out. For the last 6 weeks, I've been sporadically depressed/agitated.

**This last week, however, I've been in this kind of state where I can't feel anything (like I'm cut off from everything around me). I just feel blocked. Either that or angry about being 'blocked.' I don't know---

Please, does anyone have anything to share? I'm tired of reading textbook symptoms lists & not getting any answers/feedback from my doctor. Thank you!
