Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you are diagnosed with bipolar disorder you are suffering with depression & mania. However, take regular medications your doctor has advised. Stay relaxed, take plenty of sleep & let not anxiety overtake you. Continue to visit your therapist & have patience while you get treated. Avoid alcohol & drugs. Lifestyle changes & eating healthy food is recommended.
