Hey guys,

I normally post in the depression forum here. I saw my GP this morning, to follow up on my antidepressant prescription, and she brought up the possibility that my depression may be part of an underlying bipolar disorder. She's referring me to a pdoc for an assessment.

I've actually suspected it for a while, though I don't know if this is actually the case or whether it's just been brought on by the anti-d (60mg Cymbalta). The GP brought it up after I mentioned how lately my mood's been gradually increasing, and then will reach a peak before I just crash and go right back to low mood. This seems to be a repeating cycle. When my mood does peak, I can get very high-energy and productive, but also occasionally maybe a bit overconfident? Like a couple weeks ago while washing dishes, I kept stacking everything higher up on the drying rack even though my boyfriend kept warning me that the pile was getting unstable and was about to fall over.

So now I'm worried what this means for me. I'm pretty sure if it is indeed bipolar, that it'll be type II.
