Curious

:hissyfit:Is this typical? It seems that when I am depressed, (like this morning till about 5) and then tonight my mood went way high! Grr! honestly, I hate bipolar! When I am up, I am too trusting and gullible and when I am down I feel paranoid. I called my doctor today and he says it varies. I am curious, what is your bipolar experience of up and down moods?

Also, it seems that my meds are constantly increased. I am taking Zoloft(200mg) lithium(1500mg) and Serequal now 150 mg. (this is approved by doctor)

I have been diagnosed bipolar II, and I was wondering do you think I may end up bipolar I? I am also OCD, and PTSD!

Curious of your opinion after getting my docs opinion!

I can't help you there Prayerbear, but you can always ask for a referral to another doctor for a second opinion.

BTW - It's great to see you again.

That is not unusual for some people with bipolar disorder, prayerbear.

That sounds like something a psychiatrist would say!

When I am up, I am too trusting and gullible and when I am down I feel paranoid.

I get this way too. I have to be careful of my "street smarts" when I am trusting and gulible and childlike.

I do not have Bipolar, but I do have chronic depression, anxiety, panic attacks and OCD traits.


When I am up I am almost child like. All at different degrees.

I have had a hard time figuring out which side is "me" but really it is all parts of me.

I don't have any advice, just thought I would let you know, I get very simular "episodes" it seems.

:support:

Prayerbear,

I can relate to the same feelings, especially the paranoia when I am down, to the point where I can't work or really go outside. Not sure what else to do but take the medications that we are given......and try to work through the tough times. Take care,
