Hello everyone! I haven't exactly been diagnosed with bipolar disorder; my doctor told me I have Major Depression w/ Bipolar Tendencies recently and put me on Seroquel 100mg. It has helped but makes me too tired during the day. I've been hospitalized twice, tried different medications, and so far I am on 40mg prozac and 200mg seroquel and it seems to be the most helpful meds. I have felt there was more to my diagnosis after my second hospitalization when they diagnosed me with Major Depression. My mind is always going on hyperspeed, I have severe mood swings (from happy to mad to sad to happy), I feel like I can't focus (like I can't catch my own thoughts), and I have trouble sleeping without some help from meds. Surprisingly I'm also very lazy, but when I get going I don't won't to stop to rest, eat, or anything. I procrastinate like a pro. I'm just confused really. I have just moved to Texas and am looking for a psychiatrist/counselor I can afford. But when I do see the doctors its like the most important stuff just flies away from me, like I haven't told them everything they need to know. Just wondering what everyone thinks I guess... my mom says I've just read too many books and its all in my head. That the doctors know what they are saying and doing, even if I feel like they aren't always right. My problem is that I know my body and the doctors don't..at least that's how I feel.. Alright I'm rambling now, thanks for anyone who reads this. Later! |
