Welcome to the BP board. Would you be against taking your SO to the dr with you? it may be easier for them to explain your mood swings then you. Start off with telling the dr you have mood swings and go from there. Maybe practice saying it out loud. Often the only one that knows is my husband usually the board here before him. I'm a good faker. Most of the time he wouldn't know unless I told him. T always asks but does H notice. Do you have a T or just a pdoc? For a lot of people anti-depressants make mood swings worse. Remember to ask about mono therapy drugs. Most people take a while to find the drug/drugs for them.
