Hi There Welcome to SR
I too was finally diagnosed as Bipolar last June. After years of ups and downs and addictions off again and on again, my doctor that I got hooked up with at the rehab center I went to put me on Depakote. It has made all the difference in the world. The anxiety is gone (well as gone as it can be) I fell good every day and most importantly I am not self medication with Norco just to feel like I can get through a day. I have had no desire to go back to the old ways none at all. I would get into a doctor before your insurance ends. After that I would apply for Medicaid or whatever assistance program your state has to help with medical bills. The folks at AA can really be helpful too. Go listen and let them help you. Sometimes I think that accepting help is harder than giving it.
Keep us posted
