Haha thank you so much!
It can be kind of a viscous cycle you get into, where you KNOW that some of your feelings and actions can be caused by your illness (especially when depressed or manic/hypomanic), but there absolutely ARE other reasons for mood changes (like others have said, vitamin deficiency being a big one, hormones, and/or in my case, being tapered off of another medication.) UGH it sucks when it all happens at the same time though. As if depression wasn't bad enough without needing to be intensified!
Take care! I hope you are well
