Thank you both for your replies. I very much appreciate the insight.

My current pdoc says I'm ADHD w GAD. He said the difference between bipolar and ADHD is that bipolar disorder is like internal seasons, whereas ADHD is generally faster mood shifts that can be tied to something external.

My SO, who knows me better than anyone on the planet, and i discussed this. He said, honey, I think you might have some seasons happening...

He's pretty much always right about what's going on with me, so I had to seriously consider his input.

Upon this consideration, I realized that I've not been entirely honest w my pdoc out of fear. Ie have not mentioned the suicidal thoughts/plans...

I am fairly certain I've been experiencing a mixed state. Does anyone besides bipolar people get those?
