Thank you everyone for your interpretations. They really made sense. I guess I am not bipolar. Once I had a psych doc ask me if I was feeling with my depression that I was hyper and having racing thoughts . I asked him well yes sometimes but if I was bipolar wouldn't I be thinking everything was great and I could do it all. He said not necessarily, it could be that you feel agitated and unable to sit still. I sat there thinking about it and he said well if you are then we are giving you the wrong medications and that could be why you aren't feeling better. The confusion comes when I was thinking, yeah I have the racing thoughts and the nervous/anxiety feeling about God this will never end and having to keep busy at times to keep me from obsessing over my feelings. But for God's sake at least if I was bipolar give me the highs, at least I would deserve that much. Not to make too light of this. The effexor did the same thing to me, made me hyper every time I increased it and then made me perpetually tired. Now I am weaning off it and taking the Wellbutrin which also made me hyper and now I am still just tired a lot.
