Mellow, thank you. The crushing lows are doing me in. Somehow the entire thing has morphed into recurrent MDD. It is atypical in that it is temporarily responsive to events.
I have a bipolar sibling. I remember what you wrote about your grandfather. Much as meds scare me (sorry) I can't be left to endure this unaided. I am getting very worn down.
What yo describe sounds *more* bipolar. But see, I still don't understand as that comment shows. Suicidal sounds like
major depression to me, but I don't understand these things clearly.Jeez, I have never felt grandiose. On dexedrine I felt bullet-proof. Xanax, too. Usually I just feel sh*tty. That's a kinda' baseline. Bullet-proof means really just equal to my peers
and being able to withstand life. And I'd like to write again.I have been assessed at times with double depressiion. Does MDD rule out the cyclothymia? There is so much conflicting info out there.
You wrote a few weeks back for support. I'm sorry I didn't
know what to say....Yeah. Nothing soft about it. Thank you so much for hearing that and responding. I wish you were not struggling as much as you have been.
