Before being diagnosed I was positive I have bipolar, fit the bill to a T in most aspects. I was diagnosed bpd before that and after coming to this forum I think that I don't fit in with that group. I don't freak out when left alone by my hubby, there are no frantic efforts to avoid his absence or anyone else for that matter. I get lonely of course at times but its not so unbearable that I can't function or that I dwell on it.
Well I'm doing it again with bipolar, I had to go off meds for 3 days (this being the 3rd) and I feel fine, I feel like a normal person. Emotions aren't high, level headed, still get pretty angry at times I guess. So I don't think I have bipolar.
Do psychiatrists just give premature diagnoses to push pills? I am supposed to start seroquel again tomorrow but I don't know if that is a good idea. My pdoc said to start it again even after I said I feel awesome (not hypo awesome). I don't understand why he would say continue an antipsychotic when I feel great?? Wouldn't he rather see if this lasts instead of just pushing pills? Maybe I am out to lunch on this one but it just doesn't make sense.
