I have heard about sub-threshold bipolar before. How are you feeling about being on the bipolar spectrum? Just wanted to give you some recognition positive support for seeing a psychiatrist, which must mean you are working hard to get yourself to a better place. That is a great accomplishment. I am still learning how to live with Bipolar 2 and psychiatric medication is a must for me, so I consider regular visits with my psychiatrist an important part of my treatment plan. Good luck to you, I hope your meds help.
