Kat, the only clue I have as to what your problem is, is those 2 letters: BP. Do you mean bipolar disorder, a.k.a. manic depression? Seriously? I mean, has a genuine psychiatrist diagnosed it? (Pardon my nosiness, but some people toss around psychiatric terms as if they're as easy to diagnose as the common cold, and as easy to self-treat, also.)

If so, my advice is:
1. Follow your shrink's advice.
2. Talk to some other people who have, or have had, the same problem. Ask your shrink to recommend a support group.
