I struggle with my dr not listening. i personally think i have bipolar II, and he doesn’t. so for the last 12 years, I’ve been on everything but mood stabilizers. I can't switch dr's unless I get a referral from my current psychiatrist. It's just so frustrating.

He put me on a sleeping pill to deal with one symptom... I explained to him when i'm 'doing well' they don't work, i might sleep a few hours, might not sleep at all, but when i'm depressed, i'll sleep 10 after taking half the dose. So what does he do? Ups my dose of sleeping meds. . . . Just curious if anyones had this problem or similar, and have any suggestions for me. It'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for listenin
