Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I'm newly diagnosed, yet the psychologist says my mood swings are situational. I don't wake up in a specific mood, then the next minute I have another mood..no ups and downs daily..my mood is more affected by things that happen thruout my day..and I usually feel more sad than high..oh for that!!
It's just hard when the Psychiatrist is medicating for one thing and another Dr disagrees w the diagnosis..one Dr told me that if I've ever had one episode of high, then I am bipolar..how do you know if an episode is just being super happy about something or if it's mania?
I was put on new meds about two weeks ago and I'm feeling soooooo much better. The right combo and change every thing.
Good luck and (hugs)
