Distinguish between actual bi polar and anxiety about bi polar.
I've only been on mirtazapine for 3 weeks. I stopped taking Prozac after a bad manic espisode leading to an accident by going cold turkey (I was on it for 2 weeks). I had a negative thyroid test.
I know it runs in the family. As I stayed with a very closely related relative who supposed to have bipolar. As over 3 days. I noticed a sad low one day, normal behaviour then a manic moment on the last day when I fled the house in fear. I haven't yet returned. However she iS against any drugs and prefer to suffer. I don't see the point. As her experience of psychiatry is influenced by now out dated bad experiences of mental illness incurred by her then husband.
I'm due for an assessment and I will tell them I have magic moments where I think I have supernatural powers, say outrageous things, suffer from delusions of grandeur follows by very deep lows where I am feeling so unworthy. My fear of failure stops me from going too far in harming myself. And the threat of prison suddenly stops me from harming others. I just don't know whether I'm just depressed/anxious or having a bipolar moment.
I just feel sad today. The fact it's the 21 jan, doesn't help. Sorry.
