Hi all,

It has been a long time since I have logged on here - and thank you again for all that have followed my situation, and have given me some great advice.

I have been seeing a new therapist less frequently - and we have worked well together, which has been lovely.
However, it is difficult as I feel that I am the most resilient person to treat, and I still fluctuate with feeling very good, and then severely depressed. I really am strugging with the notion that this is GAD - however, though Dr's have said they are wary of hypomania behaviour when I am feeling very well (also including my therapy boundary issues in the past) my therapist does not think bipolar. I am strugging to put myself in a position to accept that it is only GAD and depression - and I am not sure how to pinpoint my mental health anymore. Though I have been two years in therapy, I still can't seem to control my moods or regulate them - depsite trying medications, etc.

I think I got worried because it will be simple things that my mind just gets overwhemed with - for example, just a few days ago I was so irritable that someone was showing me how to prepare a type of food - and though she just showed me, I had already forgotten - this sort of thing happens a lot and it FREAKS me out I usually feel a miz of both happy and depressed - but it only takes one event to happen that will tip me to either one or the other...

Does this sound like I need another assessment?

(And HAPPY NEW YEARS to all!)
