My pdoc called me back. I told her about how I found out about the loss of the person who I was dating and how it made my already mixed manic mood a million times worse.
She told me that I can't allow myself to get triggered by this and recommended therapy, and I informed her that I am resuming therapy beginning this upcoming Monday, which she was glad to hear. She said that if I don't improve, we'll have to talk about me going on Lithium or Depakote, which I really, really don't want to do.
