Linkadge, I haven't written to you a great deal, but I have been reading some of your posts.
You seem very anxious ABOUT feeling suicidal. That doesn't make you bipolar to me...Okay, so I'm not a doc, but if you want to get them started in a new direction, tell them you think you've got Borderline Personality Disorder (BSD). It's not that I am dx'ing you, here, it's just that they seem to have you pegged with a label, and the treatments for that label aren't helping you. One of the common "symptoms" of BSD is that the person is extraordinarily difficult to treat. If you make that suggestion, by the time they weed through all of what you're NOT within that label, the doc may be a little closer to what will actually treat your symptoms instead of your label.
Just a thought- a little intellectual square dancing with doc can only help...If nothing else, it will make you feel better to watch THEM squirm for a bit...
