we are adding a small dose of Risperdal and getting rid of the Seroquel.
Dx is F31.12 - (sometimes it's good to have a reference point. And to see how a professional views your moods/behaviors, etc.)
I asked for opinions in another thread regarding therapist (helpful or not). I decided to give therapy another try; I scheduled an appointment while I was there.

It must feel a bit reassuring that your pdoc was concerned for your welfare. It helps so much to feel "heard" and "understood," even if only enough to get our more immediate needs understood and, hopefully, met.
I happen to think most therapists are worth another try, especially if they have not somehow compromised the capacity for trust and there is a sense of both the ability and the desire to work together.
It is truly nice to have you posting again.
I am sorry you have been having such a challenging time.
I do hope you will feel better very soon!
