does going to your pdoc or tdoc trigger a bipolar episode?

ive noticed on several different occassions when i have an appointment to see my docs, i get extrememly agitated or depressed or any number of different emotions. by the time i get to my doc, im a wreck. does anyone else have this happen?

I get that, too. Usually, if I know I have to go out of the house, it'll make me manic, so I'm happy and bubbly while I'm there. I only see my family doc about bp. Otherwise I see a counselor for past abuse, marital, and parenting. It gets weird because it's the same counselor for all three. She's awesome, though!!! Only if I'm already extremely depressed do I stay depressed after the meeting.

Yep, I get the same way, agitated, anxious or lots of other things. I'm glad you asked this. It's good to know I'm not alone.

I just went to the TDOC today and ended up in the biggest funk. And the session actually went really well, but it seems like every Monday I end up grouchy and tired. I think it just brings all the raw feeling to the surface and even after you leave they don't receed until later in the day or until you wake up the next morning.

I try to make sure I do some excelent self-care later in the day...lay on the beach, bubble bath, nap, nice dinner, ect... It seems to ease the mood a little.
