Last night I was so angry I wanted to punch things. It came out of nowhere while I was watching tv. I'm wondering if that was hypomania. My problem is I have so many differen't health issues I don't know what's causing what.
My doctor told me to stop taking my thyroid med a few weeks ago but said if I started feeling tired,etc to start taking it again or try half. I'm wondering it's that part of the problem. I was also having really bad hot flashes all night so maybe that could have caused the anger? I mean it was bad. I wanted to throw things. I was also really anxious and started scratching my arms. That's never happened before. I also haven't been sleeping well and my boyfriend's grandpa passed away a few days ago. I was fine at the funeral but maybe that affected my mood?
Today I didn't wake up feeling refreshed.I'm still angry but not as bad. I see my neurologist this week and p doc next week. I guess for now I'll try the thyroid med again. I know a symptom of hypothyroidism is mood swings but of course that's a symptom of bi polar 2 also. UGH!!!

Everyday I feel more and more sick. Being in pain every day, I've learned to disguise it. So well that others don't believe my pain when I speak of it. Needing help but only receiving negative responses, I find my way but pay for it later. I absolutely need the rest but there's pressing things to be done.

Ugh my depression is really being triggered by the grief of losing my mom. Ugh it sucks. I wish this pain would leave me already.
Deff talk to your Pdoc. But also your other Dr's, as many other things can cause you to feel this way.
Hope you feel better
That works too
Amuseme, I like your idea too.
Do you have a prn? This mood has been going on for a week or two? Hugs xx
i guess i can get that type of episodes too, generally after i get really bad depression...
