I'm considering telling my doctor I might be bi-polar. I never thought of this until I started Lamictal for depression and social anxiety, and this is the first medication I've tried that actually helps. One reason I think I might have bi-polar is sometimes I get very excited when I'm happy, to the point where I rub my hands together manically and have an urge to rock back and forth. I hide it from people, but I used to get teased in school for doing it.

I do not have problems staying awake, it's actually the opposite. I don't have all of the symptoms of bi polar, only a few... but I never considered it as my social anxiety and depression has been so bad, I don't get highs very often anymore.

What do you think? Anyone with bi-polar that can offer advice?
