It sounds like you are experiencing some symptoms but only a doc can diagnose you. It sounds like something is going on for sure, but can I ask what a diagnosis would achieve? Do u think it would validate our feelings more? Or maybe give you some reason to get help? I'm just curious if you need that reinforcement? Just a thought. Sometimes people like to have concrete evidence before they can work on getting better, which kinda makes sense.
Do u have time to go online and do some research on symptoms? That might be helpful, but keep in mind, symptoms and triggers are different for everyone...and they also differ (in my opinion) on my episode.
Also, u might want to try tacking your symptoms- this might help when (hopefully) you reach out to a doc for help. You have concrete info on your symptoms, triggers, thoughts and feelings. I actually have an ap on my iPhone that I use every night before I head to bed (which is when I feel the worst). It makes a cool bar graph and everything. Ok if that works for everyone though.
Also I think determining a career or deciding to go back to school can be a big deal. I work with older students and it's really stressful when u cant decide what you want to do or which avenue you want your life to take. Its hard, and a normal response to a big decision like that.
Hanging there. Keep posting and maybe consider reaching out to your primary doc and chat about what's going on for you. Couldn't hurt - and wouldn't it be nice to feel better?
