Hello everyone. I have had a relatively long period of stability, (about 10 years) and pretty much my entire living situation has changed during that time. I got married and had two children. I recently decided to change my med regime for health reasons and found the new combo to be much less stabilizing. Saw the doc yesterday and will try a new combo which will take awhile to kick in of course. In the meantime I am going crazy inside. My family doesn't understand because they never knew me to be unstable. I am getting frustrated that they don't get it. As if my being bipolar was some sort of myth or a silly story. My spouse and oldest daughter seem to think my thoughts, feelings, actions are all under my control.
