@amberpep living with bipolar is very difficult I had a friend who is bipolar and seen others with bipolar in families and work. It is very difficult to live with the ups and downs and I am glad to hear that you are seeing a therapist and it sounds that even though you have these bad moments that you are aware of them and want to get better. I know it is hard to see it now but it also seems you are in better control of your emotions than others who just deny there existence. I know there are meds coming out that are for bipolar depression and maybe continue talking to your therapist about changing the meds. Each person is an individual so one med may not work on you like others. Sorry I do not have a ready answer for you but depression hits people in other ways. So keep in contact with us and work with your therapist. Best of everything

I tried Latuda and it didn't do a thing for me.

Hi Colleen ..... Yes, I saw on the TV today an ad for a med. called Latuda which is for Bipolar II Depression. I wrote it down to ask my Psychiatrist about next week when I see him. Mine definitely leans heavily in the depression side ... the manic side is 99% of the time high anxiety.
I don't mess around with anything re. my health .... it's too precious at my age. I do what needs to be done ASAP. Having just moved here not too long ago it's more difficult. I'm due for my annual Gyn. check, mammo., skin check (gosh all sorts of dots and spots show up at this age!), and I'm in the process of getting dentures. No fun with that as I have to either grind or puree all my food. I think I have Cream of Wheat coming out of my ears!!!! (nice picture, huh).
Take care my friend,
Abby
