Something to consider is if you have recently quit drinking or using (by recently I mean anywhere from one day to a year or so) the symptoms you exhibit could easily be related to your body detoxing. Many people experience symptoms similiar to depression, bipolar, and other mental illnesses during their recovery period.
It is excellent that you are keeping a journal. Great job at self care there. It should provide you with good information to present to your psych doc and/or regular doc when you feel med changes may be needed. Keep up the good work!
