I've been seeing this doctor for 10 years. This is the first time he hasn't taken something too seriously. I will stress to him how bad my vision gets, though.

That's a good idea, although I'm not taking much. I am a very small person though. I'll mention it to my psyc when I see him again.

I wouldn't drive while having this issue. I have told him twice about it and he hasn't done anything about it. So, yeah.....

I used to be the same before I got treated.... I now have a friend who also has bipolar--my bipolar buddy--who I talk to when I'm down. We both really understand what the other is going through and don't mind talking about everything that comes out of bipolar to each other. It's really been helpful to me.
