Are your seeing a Therapist? I honestly think Therapy is just as important as medications. Therapy is a great place to learn ways of managing Bipolar better, It certainly can help you regain your self esteem and self worth( was a huge problem for me) just learning to cut yourself a break when Bipolar jumps up and slaps you so hard it's difficult to take a deep breath let alone handle everything in your daily life.
