I told him that yes, I think the meds aren't working anymore. So he recommended lithium and printed out some lab tests I have to go get before and after starting it. I didn't really understand his directions because I'm slow to process lately. I did ask questions and I just hope I can do everything right. I'm feeling frustrated about my treatment lately and I want to cry. I don't know what I really expect though. I guess I feel like no one can help me. I'm thinking about going to a psychologist because I think there are other things going on besides bipolar. I increasingly can't function and my job is on the line.

I hope you feel better soon.
If ever you struggle to understand directions, consider asking your doctor to write them out on a piece of paper. They shouldn't mind doing that. I've asked mine to do that when I was so unwell that concentrating was difficult.
