Your questioning a "Label".... Think about just finding what allieviates the symptoms that are causing you to have to seek out a Doctor of any sort to help find a way to have a more workable content life. You have a loving husband that doesn't care that you "have" Bipolar, you have a beautiful child .. You have what really matters in life. I know so many neurotypicals that have neither and probably wont because they have a shytty outlook on life and there life is a bloody mess.
My Bipolar doesn't present like the DSM guidelines show, My Bipolar is it's own "zebra"
Getting mad , screaming, breaking stuff can help blow off some of the frustrations of dealing with an illness that can flip and flop in many directions often whenever it damn well pleases.
Sure you can go argue about a "label" but I personally would focus more on finding a medication(s) and therapy etc that doesn't cause you to eat non stop and other lousey side effects and just work toward removing the symptoms.. Once you have some stability you can revisit the label and decide if it does fit or if you were just outta wack at being unstable for a long time that it might have fit then , But now? Maybe not so much.
Anywho, just my 2.3 cents 
Ps: the few months you had to wait to get in to see this new Pdoc you were going through lots of ups and down , paranoia and times you really needed to go IP... It was just a short while ago... |
Thanks Christina. I'd actually forgotten about my unstable situation while I was in between doctors. I have a tendency of forgetting how it feels to be in a certain mood when I'm not in that mood, and to think that when I'm in a certain mood I've never felt any differently. My husband pointed that out to me last night. And then we talked, and he pointed out various up periods that I've had that I'd forgotten about.
And then I went on an angry drive and scream. Lol!
Anyway, thanks again.
I do believe that during my unstable period, while I was in between doctors, I said that the only thing wrong with my life was me because I do have a loving husband and cute kid, great job for my MI situation, and my creativity, etc. There's nothing wrong with my life. I think that's why I have trouble keeping therapists. I never feel like I have anything to talk about.
