I'm at a loss right now.
I posted earlier that after 1 month on Lexapro for panic attacks- that although I am panic attack free, I have been having the weirdest mood swings.I go from euphoric to totally incapacitated with depression and even having suicidal thoughts. This is VERY unlike me.
I've also been feeling a very strange "head fog" as if I am not real for about a month.Well, I talked to my doctor today and she said, " It sounds as if you could be bipolar. Do you have a family history?"
My father has a severe case of bipolar, as did his mother (whom committed suicide). I just can't fahtom that I could possibly have this..I function normally (mood swings occasionally but I am a mother with two young kids' and one is autistic), I am responsible. My father and grandmother both went on massive spending sprees all the time and made very irresponsible decisions.
I sleep pretty normally- neither of them slept. I've been a faithful spouse (neither of them could be).
I just don't understand how she came up with bipolar????
Am I just in denial or what?
They are sending me to a psychologist tomorrow.
