My private therapist "graduated" me & she quit being a therapist. She now teaches. So I joined a group for bipolar/depression. Every time I go, I leave depressed. I am usually in the "manic" stage: upbeat, lots of energy, creative. But listening to people's problems for 2 & 1/2 hours is exhausting! I have to have some sort of therapy or my MD won't prescribe my meds. I've tried to find a psychiatrist who takes Medicare patients but there are none in my area. The "free clinic" says I am not disturbed enough for their program (I have never been hospitalized & that is one of their requirements). I do better hanging out with people who are into writing & theater---a variety of people---than those in my group. This is nothing against the people in my group but does anyone else have this reaction?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
