I notice a lot of ''shoulds'' in this post. (to be more exact, two in this quite short post). I understand that bipolar and depression makes us feel this way. I do wonder if you have had effective CBT and DBT which might help to rewire the brain? It can be very helpful for some (many?) (in conjunction with the ''right meds''...)
I hope you're able to find a med combo that works better for you, I'm sure that you will be able to
