This was very interesting for me to read because this is VERY much me. Has always been to some extent me, but especially right now. I was just told I might possibly have bipolar. (I just saw a psychiatrist on Tuesday) I have been put on a low dose of Lamictal to see if this helps my mood issues and depression. Now I am wondering if I do actually have bipolar, esp because these decision making and concentration issues have been especially bad lately (or is it just symptoms of major depression?) I have a VERY hard time picking food off a menu or deciding where to eat or what to do with myself. Some days I drive one place and change my mind and go to another, just to drive back to another place, its very strange, this indecisiveness. I also multi-task badly. I start doing many things at once, and have issues finishing one task at a time or something. I have always had memory issues, remembering names of movies, shows, or even just people's names. I thought it was just me being dumb with my bad memory, but lately it has definitely been worse.
