The frequency of your mood shifts is unusual in Bipolar, though not unheard of. I don't understand why your GP wants to wait, but I would make an appointment with a pdoc and by way of preparing for the visit, start journaling about your moods: what you're feeling at any given time (happy, sad, irritable, depressed, anxious, hopeless, empty, etc., etc.), how long these feelings last, and especially what is triggering them, which can be difficult to discern at times.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you, for your advice. I started keeping a Journal the day after you made the suggestion and just that in itself has helped enormously. It's actually very theraputic because I can work through my thoughts and anxieties and see some answers in my ramblings.
