Then I went to a psychologist, she said I had dyslexia. Many drugs and years later they figured it was not depression/ADD it was Bipolar. It was never really pin pointed to which type. 3 years later with a diagnosis of bipolar and ten thousand drugs later. I stopped taking meds. Again I met destuction. I maintained on low doses of Sarequel for a while with little help from doctors.
I think I have grown as a person in the past year but i still felt/feel like i'm stuck in a rut. Now I'm seeing a new psychiatrist and he think i may have Aspergers. I've read up and it seems right, and closer to my syntoms then anything else. But I'm not sure what to do about it and I feel vary frustrated with my life.
I'm 21 and I've lived probably my entire life feeling misunderstood. And half my life under the mercy of probably idiot doctors.
I've been a member of this site for a while but I haven't used it at all. I'm having a bad week or so. So tonight decided to try it again. I when on to see if anyone has a similar stories and feelings. I didn't mean for this to be so long. but i figured you might get it, having a diagnosis of bipolar and aspergers.
What's your story?

I originally went in for an ADHD evaluation and the results of that were ADHD combined type and OCD as well as nonverbal learning disability. I was also diagnosed with depression/probable bipolar disorder at the same time. about 8 months later I was retested and, in addition to my original diagnoses I was confirmed Bipolar I and for a while up until that point the word aspergers kept getting thrown around. I was actually diagnosed with aspergers before bipolar and several professionals confirmed the diagnosis.
