To other people, episodes are like trying to describe color to the blind, its almost impossible.
Learn your triggers, that way you can have more advanced warning, avoid them when possible. When you feel those waves of emotion come flooding over you, remember your self protection and presevation are paramount, and if you were literally drowning others would come to your rescue, so don't be shy about rescuing yourself or asking others (work) for time out or help. And when you can, write down what happened so you can talk about it with your therapist and pdoc. Perhaps start logging your moods with a mood app for your phone/computer - most therapists and pdocs like those as it gives a better picture of what is going on inbetween the highs and lows.
Most of all - don't give up and dont despair. You sound like you are in the process of getting up a good support network, and you are in a great place on this forum. Feel free to PM if you want to talk more.
Hang in there and

Thank you so much
