> - ScottScott, you've always been pretty informed with meds/journals and information, I was wondering if you could just give me your opinion. Does this look more like unipolar depression or bipolar 2.
Before my disorder
- Went to bed at 2,3 am most nights, except when I was working which would be 12, 1 am
- hyper at night, very energetic at night usually, dancing around and playing pc games hard. Morning was a struggle since I was super tired from late nights.
- Agitation maybe? I bite my nails really hard to the point where all my fingers bleed. That's
- No racing thoughts, or I can't recall any.
- Was always distracted from school with personal business project outside of school until university.
- Not angry like ever.
- Narcisstic
- Distracted a lot (only can do work at library)
- Hypersexual (but this might just be a 16-19 year old male)AFTER DISORDER BEGAN
- Depressed all the time, no peaks ever except on antidepressants and those weren't even close to being considered "peaks"
- Still biting my fingers till they bleed
- Narcisstic still somehow and confident
- Racing thoughts but went away after 4 months or so once I started AD's
- Insomniac all the time 2-4 am bed times
- Still not angry1. What seems more likely? MDD or BP2
2. If you were a doctor or if this were you, how would you treat it? Only meds that have worked on me have been nardil, mirtazapine and zoloft. All for depression except nardil which has been for both (anxiety too) but gives me mood swings while the others do not.
Thank you for any help.
