In reply to Another Question- does this sound familiar?, posted by woolav on October 19, 2004, at 10:33:31
Have you raised your concern about BPII with your pdoc and your therapist? In my opinion, they would be best equipped to tell you if you are biopolar. Also, I know this may sound stupid, but have you had your blood checked lately? Things like diabetes, hypoglycemia, hypo- or hyperthydroidism, hormonal imbalance, etc. can wreak havoc on our moods (causing frequent mood swings) and anxiety levels.
Hope you get some answers soon. Take good care.

> Hello. I am obviously doing some research about my problems. I am seeing a T now (2nd visit tomorrow) and have been seeing my pdoc for years. I have been diagnosed with different things by different pdocs. Dysthymic disorder and panic disorder. But, when I think about my symptoms I wonder if I am BP2...
> My history:
> Depression since i can remember...
> social phobia since i can remember.
> panic attacks since mid 20's
> some cycling, like, i will be happy one day and sad the next. Or happy for months and then go into major depression for a month ect..I take anti-depressants and anxiety meds, plus lamictal. But I still have these episodes of happy/sad. My husband notices them all the time. He is always asking how i feel each day. Does this sound familiar to anyone??? Am I BP?
> Thanks
