I'm bringing this up for a few reasons, one of which is that when I saw my T today, for the first time ever in the time she has known me (about 6 years), she said my attention difficulties might be bipolar related, but they also might actually be ADHD. The second is that I am seeing my pdoc tomorrow, so the timing is actually great.

Let me just say, FINALLY my bipolar isn't being blamed as the one and only culprit. It gets really annoying when everyone just thinks that is the reason for pretty much all my mental health issues without even considering other possibilities.

So...my question is, how do I bring this up and talk about the possibility of trying medication to improve my attention span and reduce my fidgeting? I'm actually kind of nervous about it because I don't know how my pdoc will react, especially since it will probably seem like it is coming out of the blue, and my most recent bipolar episode was a mixed one...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!
