I'm also under review. I got a letter stating so over a year ago. I got kind of worried, but decided worrying wouldn't help a thing. I thought it just went away because the SSA never contacted me again until a few days ago. They want me to provide information about any hospitalizations. I wrote those down (actually, my partner had to fill it out for me, as I just got out of IP, unfortunately).
I think that my anxiety is a huge toll on me. I think my bipolar disorder is like an awful giant, an evil beast, that rears its ugly head when I'm overcome with stress.
If stress did not exist, I think I could work. But no stress, none. A pipe dream. Take care.

You have said something soooooo useful to everyone who has been slapped with the bipolar label:
"...an awful giant, an evil beast, that rears its ugly head when I'm overcome with stress."
Now...get a chair, and command the "beast" to sit apart from you. Congratulations! You have taken step 1 in casting this Destroyer out of your personality and spirit. I am speaking from experience.
So much of therapy for bipolar disorder fails because too many attributes that have nothing to do with the physiology of what's going on in your brain are present at the place-in-time where a clinician had to choose an ICD-10 code for what they observed.
Bodies change, circumstances change,diets change, habits change, budgets change, time keeps moving forward...
I think you might get it (how you can influence your own changes)- but I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible.
What are you willing to do? Your will is the answer to this merry-go-ground of the parasitic and self-fulfilling prophecies.
I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior, that was my choice of what I did with my will.
You're free to choose for your life-where's the voice your victory?
