Hi bryn,
I'm glad to hear that you are feeling a little better; I was worried about you! I'm also glad to hear you didn't go for jury duty; it's far more important for you to take care of yourself.thanks for sharing that you seem to have feelings a lot like mine. it helps in a way that i'm not the only one. though i wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, let alone a friend
i just finished a lunatic sobbing session myself. i am doing really bad today. it's become a nightmare since my good ol Ritalin turned into the anxiety monster
thankfully i see my pdoc tomorrow and the poor guy is gonna get an earful of talk about what i've been going through plus lots of questions. i wondered about borderline myself but my therapist didn't seem to think i fit the profile and i'm definitely not bipolar since i have not had a positive thought in my head that was not drug-induced in about 20 or 30 years.
i'm glad to hear you're ggonna go to a therapist. it's really nice to have someone you trust whom you can just cry your eyes out with
take care, and i hope you continue to feel better
Kat> I also meant to add that what you describe is similar to what I experience. My dx has been MDD w GAD and PMDD (fun!), but some pdocs have thought bipolar. My current pdoc who I like and respect isn't convinced either way yet and has been going w MDD for now.

> He's also requiring me to see a therapist who he thinks Ill really click with. I have no doubt it will help tremendously in conjunction w/ my pdoc/meds.
>
> When it comes to discerning bt bipolar & depression, I think I definitely fall into this rapid cycling. A lot. I've wondered about borderline, and it seems to overlap greatly with bipolar, which makes a dx even harder...
Ive got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
