He asked me a bunch of questions and then said he wasn't sure, then he asked a few more and said, "Oh yeah, you're bipolar." To me, that indicates that there's highs and lows and I don't really think that's true. I mean, there's highs, but they don't usually last that long. I guess I need to do some reading myself.
It just seemed really sudden. Then again, that's their job, right? Diagnose and treat.
I had this moment yesterday. I'd gone to work and then when I went to lunch, I came back and sat in my car for awhile. I was in this haze, and I found it difficult to recall simple information, like how many seconds are in a minute. I completely panicked and thus couldn't remember a lot of other things. For about a minute, I couldn't even recall my name. Then I calmed down, got a grip, and I was okay. I really felt like Dustin Hoffman in Rainman there for a few minutes.
I've had some other effects, too, but I have noticed that both times I was overdue to eat. I guess I'm going to have to work on a good eating schedule to avoid these things.
