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 just requested my medical records because I was getting annoyed at not knowing what I was being treated for. I now feel 10 times worse than I did before requesting them - I assume I am being treated for somethign along the lines of Bipolar w/ psychotic features or schizoaffective disorder etc. But I am worried that it may be something else that I havn't prepared for, what if it is NOS - I would hate that!! It would be awful, even worse is if there was no diagnosis, I'm not sure how I would cope . . . Sorry for the rant, I just needed to get it all out xD

How long have you been in treatment? They should have told you by now what you are being treated for especially if you have had a hospitalization in your past.

Hi thanks for the reply!! I've been in treatment for roughly 2 - 3 years, And have just recently started relapse prevention. I've never been hospitilized though. The trouble is I started treatment with as a teenager, and then had to switch when I was 18 and then I moved towns so switched doctors again, and then I had to move back, so no one has really seen me for more than a year or so. And the one time I asked if they were working towards a diagnosis they told me "We find labelling people isn't healthy" . . . although I am with a different doctor now.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
