Thanks for being so welcoming to me.
In terms of medication management and/or making adjustments to my regimen, at this point I am trying to be patient and trust my doctors. I feel like the mood stabilizers managed to bring me out of a relatively minor hypo manic phase but sent me into a depressive episode that is pretty severe and I don't feel like the anti depressant is working. At this point I really am trying to learn as much as I can about bipolar disorder and the myriad of treatment options and am interested in hearing others experiences in managing their lives. I have dealt with depression and anxiety on some level for many years but being diagnosed and treated for bipolar II disorder is new to me. I have a range of thoughts and emotions associated with this diagnosis and I am hopeful that I might benefit from others experience.
Thank you so much for your kindness.
