well I have read all your posts and even without the medication issues you still qualify for the trauma boards.....you have had a rough go of it.

I could see why the dr gave you Seroquel and suspect that you are bipolar. antidepressants will trigger mania in bipolar individuals, which is what you said happened to you so there is reason to suspect bipolar. my doc gave me and antidepressant for anxiety and it triggered the worse mania of my life. it was awful.

as for your therapist pushing you to do things you are not ready for, is she trained in trauma? if she doesn't specialize in trauma, that may be why she doesn't understand. I spent three years with a therapist that didn't understand trauma and as a result my anxiety just got worse and worse. now I am with a therapist that specializes in trauma and I am getting much better because she understands how hard things are for me.
