I'm not sure that a psychologist COULD help you with being bipolar. It is more a matter of getting on good meds that will help control the processes in your brain, because it is a brain matter of chemical proportions and not something that a psychologist can do. You CAN however, go to a good therapist and have that person to talk to about how you are feeling can go a long way. You can also get involved in various support groups in your city for bipolar people. The important thing is to NOT isolate yourself, because then you just get lost inside your head and can't seem to make things work. I hope you do find a psychiatrist. i have been with mine for 7 years already, and being with a good psychiatrist matters a lot. Hope to hear from you soon, telling us of your better plan. abbi
