I can empathize with you with health problems on top of bipolar. It's anxiety-inducing, isn't it? I've been dealing with possible side effects of my medications and/or withdrawal symptoms lately, and I also have severe acid reflux and gastritis. The acid reflux wouldn't be the end of the world if it didn't adversely affect my voice so much. I am a singer and voice teacher and I NEED my voice. I get angry and anxious about it a lot.
Anyway, enough about me. I just wanted to say I understand.
