Hi all. I'm a 22 y/o college student, with a recent diagnosis of "Mood disorder: Not otherwise specified", and ADHD. The doc says I'm too young, the symptoms are too fuzzy, the stress is too high, and there's too much overlap with the ADHD to be sure yet if I'm bipolar or not. I've never been full-blown manic before, just in the hypomanic range. Definitely depressed though.
I've wondered about it since I was 16, I would just like someone to tell me what's wrong with my head and fix it. Currently on Wellbutrin because the Celexa made me a horrible level of manic.
Right this second I'm fighting off a hypomanic episode...it's been pushing at me for a few days now - I haven't slept all night and I have to go to school tomorrow and I can't slow down and I can't get my homework done and I can't stop thinking but I feel terrible. So I decided to try and find a forum so someone can tell me what to do with my head when I get like this. I don't like the shrinks and the therapists, they haven't walked in my shoes. I'm in nursing, and there is no better way to get judged and marginalized than be in the medical profession with a problem. Anyway I wanted to talk to someone who knows where my head is and can help me cope with it...not just make coddling noises while taking notes on me.

So hi all.
