Hello. An intro.

[chrystal83o]

This is hard for me to open up on a public board. But alas we all take chances. I'm in the middle of a messy divorce and custody battle. I'm bi polar and currently in a mixed state. My meds don't seem to be helping. I have no one to talk to and I seem so lost sometimes. I'm 32 and my son is 7.

Welcome. I'm sorry for what you're going through right now.

Welcome chrystal83o. I'm so sorry you're going through such a hard time right now - your situation would be trying for anyone. Are you seeing a doctor or therapist? You might need to adjust your meds for awhile.

[chrystal83o]

Yes I'm seeing a psychiatrist. I've asked him to adjust my meds. He keeps saying wait and see.

Wait and see is not an acceptable approach when the meds are clearly not working. Have you thought about finding a new psych provider?

chrystal83o, I agree with finding a new psych if you have that option. I am so so sorry you are going through this and you are more than welcome to hang out with us here. If you are open to it, maybe you can start seeing a therapist or a support group to help you through this transition? Especially if you don't have family or friends close by to help you. So many hugs.

I guess I could change. I have good insurance. Thanks for y'all's input.

At the very least just do a consultation with a new provider to see if they recommend a different course of treatment. You aren't in a binding contract with any of these doctors, and it's important to know what options are out there.
