Hi Strawberriesyum. I was diagnosed as bipolar II by the first psychiatrist I saw. Then, other docs thought I might just have major depressive disorder. I just switched from Lexapro to Seroquel; I had a horrible last 2 weeks recently too. So I guess we're not alone, huh?
Yeah, I depend a lot on my husband too. He really tries, but sometimes I think it's too much for him, which is hard for me. My therapist says I need to find more girlfriends for support. It's hard though; I just moved to a new state and had to start fresh.
I've had a few therapists, and the one I'm seeing now I like a lot. She's helped me be more in touch with my emotions, and makes me exercise!, which helps with the moods.
Anyways, I just wanted to say I can relate to feeling so tired of it all sometimes. I hope you get good meds and advice from your doctor, and things are productive with your therapist.

> Hi. Nice to meet you, too. I just did the MOSS support test thingie, and my score was 14. I have almost no support system. Aside from my husband, I have just about nobody. And it sucks.
