Jenniy122,
I am so sorry to hear that you can not go through TMS! I think it would be amazing if a bipolar dx could be included. Especially in your case since you've not had a manic episode in years.
My mother is bipolar so when I heard about TMS I was hoping it could be a solution for her but ran into the same problem.
I have heard there is an ECT option for bipolar, is that a possibility for you?
I know it's not ideal, with the possible side effects but it's better than being depressed. If TMS doesn't work for me then I'll be trying ETC... Although I hope it doesn't come to that.
