welcome to psych central!

I think a (pdoc)psychiatrist evaluation would be best, could you schedule an appointment, some times it takes a while to be seen, in the mean while you could use the mood tracker tool to keep tract of things then print that out when you finally get into be seen.
I also firmly believe in getting a therapist so that you can help to deal with these issues, maybe even have your hubby join you after a bit.
Bipolar is definately in your family! wow!
