I would say that since being on the correct rx for the past year I have spent 90% of the time "normal". This past month I have had hypomania, depression, self harm- and went to my pdoc and made an appt with a new therapist. I see the therapist tomorrow but now that I feel fine I have no idea what to talk about. When I am fine I can't feel the deep awful feelings, or high feelings. I just feel content, but I assume I should still be going. Do I just go when in crisis mode or regularily?

I go regularly, but cut back when feeling "normal". How about telling the new T about the self harm desires, the hypo, and the depression. They should be able to help you get it out and start talking about things. I'll bet they can give you some good coping skills.

I go normally because I need my therapist to know me when I'm stable. That way s/he knows my baseline thought paterns and my baseline opinions of my life, s/he can see when I'm slipping (either high or low) and help me correct it before it gets out of hand. Lastly for me this is a person I have to trust with my life they need to know all the little details of my life to advocate best for me when I can't. 48 hours (*X years) isn't not very long to know someone that you have to trust with your life.
