> My symptoms are...depression, anxiety, obsessive/cpulsive tendencies, I worry a lot, and the thing that made them believe that i was bipolar was that, my mind was racing, i was having trouble sleeping at night, I started driving at night late at night when I couldnt sleep....I am irritable.....

> My mind racing has stopped and my driving around late has stopped...I only do it when im really anxious... I dont know ..maybe I am bipolar...I told her I just dont want to believe it because this has been how i have been all my life and I have always been just fine...but obviously she is thinking differently...

>Hi Pandabear,
Are you Anxious & irritable at different times as when you are depressed, or do all 3 happen at the same time? With BP2 hypomania is optional and can instead show up as negative energy such as irritability & agitation. BP2 people spend most of their time depressed. BP1 is the original Manic Depressive illness where a person will have full blown mania attacks.
Have you ever been given an SSRI(Prozac, Paxil, Celexa, Zoloft, Luvox, Lexapro) without any other drugs? This often drives Bipolar people into mania.
Cheers,
Panda.
