kindachaotic: Thank you for the information. Yes, I'll be sure to ask my pdoc if she, or someone else in the office, does diagnostic testing. Okay, makes better sense to me now that I know this testing isn't always done. Thanks for the clarification.

WeepingWillow: Thank you for the resource! Much appreciated. I'll be sure to check out that site. I'm sorry to hear you felt dismissed by your pdoc. I truly hope you have better results when seek your second opinion. Best of luck to you as well.

Anninside: Very good, and important, point! Thank you for reminding me of this. My answer? Maybe? Some of this yes! My sleeping pattern/cycles is extremely different. My fast talking- no, not really. This has pretty much been a constant for me. The racing thoughts- I've had them for as long as I can remember. I just thought everyone was like this and it was normal! My mood swings? I never noticed it until my husband pointed them out a little over a year ago (we're now separated) and just recently when this pdoc suggested possible Bipolar. So I dunno.

Thanks again everyone for continuing to check back and for all your helpful advice and information. I really appreciate your objective opinions.

Peace and love to all...
