I hope my bluntness is not offensive. I hope you go to the mood clinic (not that that is any guarantee) and find a new pdoc.
I think of your inner voice at the time of your hospitalization: this doctor is making me sick. Maybe in one of your darkest moments, your very strong, healthy self was whispering to you.
Whatever your dx, BPl, drug induced BPl, depression, I'm glad to hear you will be dealing with symptoms and making med changes slowly.
All finger pointing aside, and yes, even admitting you had some role to play in this (this being your life), your doctor strikes me as neglegent. That's a serious charge to level at an MD, but there it is. He let you get too far out and did not notice except to increase meds (if I recall) and call you a very 'sick' woman.
Frankly, how dare he; has he tried that cocktail himself?Obviously I am angered by the lack of responsibility I read into the doctor's behavior. My apologies if I've misunderstood this post.
BTW, as a postscript, I am pleased that you are feeling better! Yes! You are strong.
