I thought I was doing good on these new meds, but now all I'm doing is worrying. I made Christmas cookies with my daughter today and I got irritated with her a few times, and although I know it's normal to not have the patience of a saint, I keep worrying that maybe the meds aren't working as well as they should. Then I'm worried that even if they are, that they'll stop working. I'm so afraid of losing this feeling of good. I just don't know what to do.

Sorry your feeling this way. Heres the way I deal with my mood and how can I keep myself on an even keel ...
Its okay to get mad or annoyed or pissed off ,,, its not all BP related . Somedays I am just mad or snappy and its okay . Obsessing over your mood all the time is going to drive you bastshit crazy! Meds can only take you so far .. learning coping skills for when you feel yourself coming off the rails to me is just as important if not more than medications . Breathing exercises help soooooooooooooooo much ! And the most important thing ... be kind to yourself

Yup Christina is right. Use you skills! Meds are only part of treatment. Idk how long you have been in meds, but you do need to give them time, it could be months to achieve full benefits. If you really feel that you should be getting better results talk to your doc about it.
