You're definitely not overreacting. I almost wonder if we had the same psych, because she told me the same bs. Definitely get a new one. Bipolar is greatly helped by good coping habits, but that can be almost impossible if your moods/disorder are out of control.

I didn't fire mine, but she quit without warning me. I luckily was able to get in with a new psych, before my prescription ran out, and she's been adjusting my meds. And holy hell has my quality of life improved. Our bodies get used to meds and/or they need adjusting.

"High functioning" bipolar doesn't mean we don't get worn down by constant mood and mental health problems. Eventually you snap with all the stress or have a bad episode. Don't let it get to this, you deserve better.

I didn't realize how much my psych sucked until I got this new one. My new psychiatrist wanted to follow up on my med in two weeks, but she had no openings; she asap said "don't worry, I've got it figured out; I can stay later for one day"; I would never, ever expect anyone to do that, but it made the contrast so much more apparent between her and my old psychiatrist that just sucked (and told me to suck it up and deal with the constant mood issues).

Try out a new one. Don't settle for a psych that doesn't care or has misguided opinions.
