I'm interested to know what the misdiagnosis was and whether you wre medicated for it. Some medication can have disasterous consequences on a bipolar individual (ie. some depressants when given to a bipolar person without a mood stabilizer can cause some pretty itense reactions).

Secondly, you have mentioned your diagnosis is new; only a month old. Give it some more time. Some meds take 6-12 weeks before noticing their effects.

Get a therapist. Your psychiatrist can help. If you or your husband have an EAP (employee assistance plan) would be really helpful.
