I'm depressed most always, but can always crack a smile, even when I'm thinking about offing myself. Always anxious unless I take a benzo. Sensitive to critiscism, dislike/disrespect most authority. Can't tolerate SSRI's or other new AD's (All kinds of problems here). Don't want to take Depakote because of the side effects I hear it causes. Tend to get angry easily (eg. Arguing over politics or something with a friend), but only when I feel threatened. Can enjoy life, but only with a push. Past history of profound substance abuse, acting out as child, hated school except the social value of it which I loved...Now I am almost antisocial! "Precocious" behavior in childhood. Unfulfilled dreams... Recent breakup of 5 year relationship.
Have tried ALL AD's on market, always some kind of side effect. Stayed on Prozac, Zoloft and Sinequan longest, but don't want the side effects and minimal efficacy anymore.
Drink a lot of coffee, sleep like a baby, Wake up like a bear.Anyways I got Dx'd as BP2 recently instead of the long standing Dx of Depression and anxiety. But Depakote is a hard pill to swallow..literally.. And I don't know that I'm a full blown BP.
I think I have "Dyslimbia" or something!!
Sorry for the broken sentences.. I'm at work.Scott
