Should I just use it as a guide for myself or actually hand it over? I am so worried she will be annoyed! 2.Should I explain that I have been diagnosed bipolar but feel their may be a physical reason behind it, or just sit and listen and play it cool? 3. Should I take in recent blood work or just let them order their own? (it is about a month old. ) Any other advice? I really want to make the most of this appointment if I can.
