Hey. Welcome.
I hope you find some help here.
I agree it's probbly a good idea to find a therapist and a psychiatrist.
You say you are apprehensive to get outside help besides your pcp because of a bad e perisncen and bc you are afraid it wont help anyway. I get that. And to be quite honest- you could be right- it may not help. There are as many good as there are crAppy psychiatrists and therapists out there. And Medications don't always work and/or take a while to kick in and find the right combination..
But If the last few weeks have been really bad- why not at least see if maybe a mental health practitioner can help make things better. You say u are on Prozac. Often when someone w/ bipolar is put on just an antidepressant it can actually make things worse. It may work for a while and then seem to poop out, or make you hypo/manic, or make you cycle more. Or so I have read. If you decide to go the med route that's something to keep in mind.
Anyhow, At the very least come on here and post stuff- it cAn help.
Take care. Stay safe.
