Hi,

Thanks for the input. I know I definitely have problems with depression and anxiety but don't think I am bipolar. I do think people can be different things at different times in their lives and the majority of my life I have suffered with depression. I haven't been doing too well and am considering going back on meds but me and my therapist are trying to work on all my past issues and see what that does. This will take a long time and I wonder if being on meds will help me through it until I come to peace with it. I do have this idea that all meds are awful because I had a bad experience, so that will seriously add to anxiety if I start again. We'll see. I am going to see the psychiatrist soon. They never changed my medications because supposedly SSRI's can trigger mania, but back then I still believed I was bipolar so I was scared to take them. I was given Luvox for OCD in November but took a really low dose with lithium and was knocked out all day. I identify more with the anxiety part of OCD, not compulsive behavior.

Sara
