Bipolar: These are serious difficulties if in fact these are correct diagnosis. You need the help of an experienced mental health professional to help you manage your emotions through your pregnancy and beyond. Ask your doctor or insurance provider for a referral in your area. I wish you the best.

Stay in therapy: I have treated more than 100 people with your condition(did or mpd) I have provided both the medication and the therapy . I can tell you that the most important thing is to avoid retraumatization. Keep yourself surrounded by a good support network. Do not hang around people you cannot trust. No drugs, no alcohol , no more sexual exploitation by others. Stay in therapy with your current therapist. Take medications only as agreed upon by both her psychiatrist and your obstetrician gynecologist. I wish you the very best. It has been my experience that women with dissociative disorders often make outstanding mothers. They can only do that however by keeping men with antisocial and narcissistic as well as borderline personality disorder out of their lives. You require normal stability from the main man in your life.
