Obviously I could talk for pages and pages but I wanted to narrow it down today to one symptom question. Ive dealt with this a while now, and I'm TENTATIVELY dx'd with cyclothemia or BPII, as well as social anxiety disorder, which is much more certain. I also have ADD. Anyway, anytime I'm put down, be it by a boss at work, rejected by a girl, insulted by some strange guy I have never met, whereas most people just would "brush it off", i am EXTREMELY effected emotionally, almost like a punch to the gut, and or stomach, and extreme depression comes in. This affects my mood AND my anxiety levels for as long as a DAY or more! and then beyond that, whenever I think about it for the next week or so, I get that feeling again, although it dwindles off gradually as time passes.
Is this a common symptom of some type of bipolar? ANybody else get in these situations? It happens to me almost all the time. I say this because recently I asked out a girl in my art class and I got really good vibes from her, and she wasnt even really "out of my league"...just a normal intelligent girl, and i called her, and she of course never called back and im basically depressed as hell, which in turn affects my anxiety like crazy.
Thanks
