I've been diagnosed as bipolar every single time as inpatient. Out of the hospital, by therapists, it has been major depressive disorder. It leaves me very confused.
Recently my pdoc suggested Lithium...I have not told him I'm bipolar or that I've had diagnoses of it.
My first question is: What does Lithium feel like? Did anyone not gain weight from it? Does it feel like an antidepressant in the way that you can feel good...kind of a foggy good?
Second question: I have long phases of being dormant emotionally and then suddenly I wake up emotionally for long phases of time. Daily, I get these euphoric highs like rages..but they immediately dump into a black hole within minutes. It feels terrible. WTF kind of bipolar would this be if it was?
I'm not asking for a diagnosis, but just information on things I don't understand.
Thanks.
