thanks for your reply. I've wondered about Bipolar for a while. My pdoc really doesn't think I would be. I haven't had a manic or hypomanic episode in the euphoric sense, however I strongly suspect that I've had episodes of mixed/dysphoric hypomania lasting maybe one day to a week at a time."Do you really hear things or are you worried that you are hearing things. "
Insofar as hearing things, there is no doubt I do actually hear things. I have for a long time, at least since Junior High 13 years ago. Sometimes it's disconcerting, but I can usually rationalize that the sounds are not real.
"It can be hard to destinguish bad obsessions from delusions. Especially if you are very, very compulsive."
True. Right now I'm trying to deal with a fixation I have on a former boss who was very bad to me.
"Do you sleep a lot and have difficulties wanting others approval?"
When it comes to sleep, I have a delayed-phase problem that despite major pharamcotherapy. Considering a light box. I also have CFS. I usually get 7-9 hours but if that's disturbed in the slightest it really messes me up. I'm not to sure if I understand the approval thing. I desire approval but once I get it I'm completely uncomfortable. I am also very sensetive to disapproval.
