I am considering that I might be BiPolarII and am waiting to go to the psychiatrist (in 6 weeks) I wonder what other people's experiences have been prior to being diagnosed. Did anyone have any insight into what was going on? or suspect BPII? I dont have massive hypomania episodes but have times when I am energetic, motivated, happy but also times when I am crying all day, cant think straight, have trouble sleeping, racing thoughts. The problem is that when I am down is usually when I am more agitated and my mind is going 300x normal rate and have terrible anxiety. Sometimes I cant distinguish between when I am up or down as it feels like both (like elation with a desperation attached to it).
Anyone relate to this?
I have been taking Luvox low dose for 12 months to deal with what was initially diagnosed with anxiety disorder but I think they actually tip me over into the high and low places. My family doctor has told me to commence on Lexapro today and I am so nervous about taking another med.
