uh...falling apart...who to turn to??

I am not sure what to do. No pdoc yet, in fact they aren't even answering their phones now. Just telling everyone to leave a message and if it's an emergency hang up and call 911. Yeah, right. My co-worker goes to the same clinic and has not been able to get through for three days. They are not responding to her messages so I am pretty sure they would also ignore mine. Hmm...OOOKAAY. My insurance won't pay for another clinic so I am stuck. Should I tell the OB? She knows I am bi-polar but she doesn't know about the uncontrollable "emotion" attacks I am having. I actually don't see me making it (mentally) to 40 weeks, I am afraid I will end up going totally nuts and doing something completely psycho. I have never had emotion attacks of this magnitude, even when I was a young teen! I wonder if the OB would induce me early, say at 37 weeks (I am 33 now) or something so I can go back on my meds? Has that happened for anyone here or is it just wishful thinking? I was thinking of asking my OB about it, but I don't want to appear so psycho they try to take my baby away from me. It really sucks that the meds that work best on me are powerful class D drugs and are too risky to take while still PG. So I have been trying very hard to control these attacks but they are wearing me down now. What would happen if I totally lost control? I am trying very hard to avoid that, more for my baby than anything else. I can't believe how hard it is now. It wasn't so bad in the beginning but now with all these hormone surges it's like trying to hold back the tide! If only I could just hold on a few more weeks....just a few more weeks...

Thanks for reading my "fear attack" if you got this far!

Hang in there. I'm pulling for you.
Some studies show that Omega-3 fatty acid supplements help (at least some) with mood, and they are safe during pregnancy.
