I am wondering if I also have bipolar? My therapist didn't think so because my moods don't last long enough (I think he said 2 weeks) to be bipolar. And the mania is not really out of control, just feeling kind of euphoric. I can go back and forth very quickly, almost like experiencing both at the same time.
I'm now getting off wellbutrin which just made me extremely irritible, and still is. I'm suppose to start Nardil next, but am worried that if it's bipolar an AD by itself will make things worse? Should I wait / try to get another opinion?
Thanks
Mark
> I need some serious advice here...My doctor is speculating that im bipolar..at first, my therapist told me that I was hypomanic but now im bipolar...(I wrote about this on the psychology board but im coming over to the pyscho babble board now..:) My question is what exactly is bi polar disorder...I know about going from one mood to another...which i do ...but, I really dont think that this is me. Is part of having bi polar disorder..denial? I am not seeing it in me at all. AND, my therapists arent wanting to worry or "scare" me or to make me obsess over this..even though I am...and so they arent wanting to tell me straight out what they believe is going on with me..they are just beating around the bush and it is annoying the junk out of me. Any comments on bi polar disorder would be great.
