Yeah I hear ya. A lot of my doctors sucked because I felt like they were either telling me what I wanted to hear or judging me and offering no real help. Like that one lady who tried to tell me and my Mom that anger is not a symptom of Bipolar Disorder (I'm sure you and anyone else with or around anyone with Bipolar Disorder will agree that uncontrollable anger IS a symptom!), and she even tried to tell me that I didn't have empathy either.
I understand that I do need medication but I think my ways of managing and coping with it have been self-taught with no real help from those doctors. All it took was for me to realize that I actually have a problem.
