I am sorry about the loss of your mother- it sounds as if you are grieving (which is perfectly normal). Everyone has their own time-table. I agree with the other poster that a support group may help. Stressful situations tend to exacerbate bipolar symptoms- which is why you're probably feeling out of control. Be upfront with your pdoc, if the xanax is helping with your anxiety then that's great. Klonopin may be a better option in bipolar patients- it has mood stabilizing qualities along with reducing anxiety. I hope you feel better soon.
