Hi, I read your query and can understand your concern. Anxiety is very common in people with bipolar disorder. I would have liked to know how frequent are your manic and depressive episodes. More importantly, you haven t mentioned what medications are you currently on, as it will be difficult to comment as such without that bit of information. In general, you might be needing one of the mood stabilisers like valproate or lithium in adequate dose. To take care of your anxiety, benzodiazepines may have to be added. SSRIs might be needed and indicated if you didnot have any recent manic episodes. You can also start some form of behavioral therapy for relaxation. Doing some relaxation exercise like progressive muscular relaxation will definitely help. Discuss all your issues with your treating psychiatrist. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
