We believe you were right, even if it was an accident.Saw super doc, was going to stay in town, but came back, too tired. Superdoc hasn't seen me in a long time, so it wasn't neglect on his part.. however when I mentioned the hypothesis, and explained the not sleeping, as well as my phone problems, (For the last year, I've actually had to block myself from phoning friends, its a trick usually used by parents to keep their kids from making long distance calls, but I would for periods have to put a block on phone numbers, and get my Dad to invent a password, , otherwise I would phone people up to 6 times a day, I knew it was rude and awful, but couldn't seem to control it). I was also diagnosed with A.D.D. years ago: suicidal on a cyclical basis. Put this all together and what does it look like? Bipolar 2,
I have to wait two weeks because he wants to be sure it wasn't brought on by the medications various Dr.s have put me on and off over the years.
But he's pretty sure. I'm relieved actually. Just the sound of "mood stabilizer" ahhhh.
Though I know its not all fun. Yeah! more side
effects. If you hadn't mentioned it I wouldn't have told him because I have this fear of being labeled a self-diagnoses addict.Lucky me to have had you mention that.
Thanks
