Try not to get diagnoses from people other than professionals. A lot of stuff can look like depression (or some form of it) or bipolar disorder. Even though I have both, plus I am a trained clinician, I still don't know you and would be uncomfortable labeling you for life. Seriously, meet with a therapist several times and consult with a pdoc. Be careful though, as some pdocs make blanket diagnoses in 15 minutes. You deserve to let a therapist get to know you over a period of time before such a decision is made. I'd it turns out tou have a diagnosis, then meds and therapy can help. If you don't have a diagnosis therapy can still be a great resource. I don't know where you are from. Your word choices place you in the U.K. but I could be wrong. If you live outside the U,S,, then the help you receive make look slightly different than what I personally know about. I do know that A's far as MI is concerned, they are behind the States and Canade in terms of resources. Do your homework carefully to find the best professional for your situation. You don't want to be labeled unnecessarily but you also want the right help. Goodluck and kudos for even exploring your thoughts
