Although the therapist Ive been seeing for over a year says Im not bipolar my gp is perscribing bipolar meds like lithium.I have been terribly depressed for over a year now.Ive tried numerous antidepressents.I have had several depressive episodes (untreated) in the past.
Some days much worse than others.I self harm and abuse substances on my worst days.....suicide thought about sooooooo much.
My bother is bipolar,my daughter 21 is type two bipolar....and Im convinced that my grandmother and probably my father as well.
I guess what Im asking is I never really get highs but my lows hit me like a ton of bricks.....I seek any kind of relief when Im like that.Scary.Can bipolar be identified by the quick depression that I simetimes fall into?
