(((((((beth))))))) i know how you feel. i'm learning that relapses, while painful, don't last as long as they once did. small comfort i'm sure, but that said, don't give up.
i can't offer much on the boyfriend thing. i can't even seem to keep one for a month. you will do what feels right to you i'm sure. now, the xh is a different story. i have to deal with mine pretty much constantly because of our 3 kids. 5 years later, it still gets to me that we once were happy and in love , blah, blah, blah but then i fast forward to what it was like the last 2 years of our marriage and that usually brings me back to reality and the confidence that the right decision was made with the divorce. it's ok to be friends with him, but i could never live with the man again, that's for sure.
call your pdoc and talk to him about the relapse and see if he can get you in sometime soon to change your meds, or maybe he can adjust them over the phone. i don't know what he's like. mine, a lot of times will just make over the phone adjustments if i've got an appointment coming up soon. otherwise, he'll schedule me in for a visit. also, if you don't have a tdoc appt anytime soon, call and see if you can get in like this week and explain what happened last week. mistakes happen, everyone makes them. not just those of us with bp. it's ok, really.
i'm thinking of you and hope you get through this quickly and back on the road to stability easily. i'm taking my own advice and calling pdoc today and rescheduling w/ tdoc for an earlier appt this week because i have had a relapse as well over the past 2 weeks with my swings. more depressive than hypomanic, but both are very present each day. so we'll do this together ok? hang in there.

I was at 1500 before too and had to come down because my levels were toxic. I couldn't see! That was my fault because I increased too quickly.
Hang in there. And I agreee with traci and Keli. See your tdoc and pdoc.
Lots of hugs!
Love you alot!
