well i ended up at the hospital emerge the other day as i was feeling pretty darn bad. (thats where im typing this from) talked to a couple of pdocs here and they think im bi polar. i never would have thought that. Im 19 and they say the real mood swings dont start till your in late 20's usually. Is this the experience you all have had? is the fact that i feel depressed all the time contradictory to this diagnosis? is severe social anxiety and add ever a part of bi polar or is this separate? i guess the fact that my uncle is severely bi polar helps fit the diagnosis. but i heard bi polars who try normal ads go manic and this didnt happen to me.
im starting lamictal and seroquel tonight. can they help with focus, increased energy, mood lift, and especially social anxiety? what are these meds effects on the dopamine system? i think dopamine dysfunction is a biggie with me.
im so glad im finally getting help, two days ago i was planning my suicide. thanks everyone for your help
