So I have been going to my T for about 2 months now. I have been dx with PPD, OCD and Generalized Anxiety.

I'm fairly certain I am also bi-polar (obviously I am not a doctor, but I feel like I know myself) Every time I bring this up to my therapist I feel like she brushes it off and says you are not bipolar. Today I think she was sick of me bringing it up and gave me a mood tracker to track my moods for a month.

I have taken both the bipolar test as well as the sanity test scoring high for both in the bipolar range (again, I know this is not meant to be a diagnostic tool)

Here are some of the things I have going ton to lead me to believe I may have some bipolar tendencies.

* Lot's of highs and lows. (I am a SAHM some weeks/days I am super mom, everything is planned out, I don't yell, we are doing crafts and projects and I am very involved and playing with them. The house is spotless, all three meals and snacks are well thought out and perfect. then the other times I yell about EVERYTHING (god my poor kids, I don't want to yell at them, I want them to love their mom) I sit and watch TV or surf the Internet all day. They eat cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, chicken nuggets for dinner etc. The house is a mess and I have no motivation to do anything.

* I'm very impulsive with money. I don't take no for an answer from my husband (god, he is amazing for sticking with me) I will just spend spend spend and forgo paying bills. No matter how many times we hit rock bottom I bring us right back down again somehow.

* I think I am going to go back to school. I pick out 100 careers that I am going to go into. I am so excited and can't wait to start (which, I'll never be able to go back to school right now because I defaulted on my student loans) But then I remember I can't follow through with anything, ever. I set these goals, wishes, etc but just never follow through.

I am sure there are more, but these stand out. What do you think I should do? Bring it up again with my T? Do these not sound like bi-polar?

I appreciate if you read the entire thing. I didn't mean for it to get this long.

Thank You,
Lea
