Hi, I am new to this forum. I was just diagnosed with Bipolar1 last week, my doctor has me on an antidepressant, which helps a little, but I was supposed to go to another appointment today and I missed it. I am having a bad day today. The appointment I missed was my first one with a new Psychiatrist, I am guessing she was going to switch my medications....I'm not sure. I haven't had any angry outbursts since before I was hospitalized, but I did today because I just couldn't get out of bed. I got so angry with myself. Now I am feeling so down. My therapist is going to be so disappointed with me for not making it to the appointment with the doctor. My Fiance and Mother are both upset, my Mother was crying this morning because she just doesn't know how to deal with my mood swings....I just want to get better. Thank you for listening. If anyone has any advice or any comments at all, I would love to hear from you.
