In reply to just for the record... what would my diagnosis be?, posted by spriggy on October 24, 2005, at 15:57:11
Pretty hard to really decide from the information you give, but it sounds like it could be anything ranging from above normal anxiety to perhaps GAD or even BP. How intense are the feelings, duration, and are they all at the same time or are they separate but in close proximity timewise? Can you trace back to the initiating cause of the anxiety/stress/depression? How is the clarity of thoughts during these episodes, and does this change? The ferris wheel has a manic sounding component, but could be a product of the anxiety rather than being a manic episode. Is this happening at the same time with the depressed symtoms? Many of the other symptoms sound like depression, just don't know what type without more info. Overall, it sounds like no matter what your diagnosis is at this moment, you may very well be on the treadmill towards major depression and/or BPD in the future. Don't know if this helps, hope so.
