I am currently being medicated for Bipolar disorder and since I started the drug, I have not felt manic at all. That's great and all, but in it's place is a deepening depression that makes me want to kill myself every day of my life, all day long. I guess I am just looking for someone to talk to about the issues I have and maybe just some reassurance that I'm not alone in this. My therapist isn't much help.
Have you asked your therapist if it might be a side effect of the drug you're taking? It's kind of surprising, but feeling agitated and suicidal is a known side-effect of, for example, SSRIs.
