Hey Owl welcome to the forums, I am new here also and recently came looking for that answer. The only differences are I am on 20mg cipralex for depression and anxiety and I wasn't bullied but found it difficult to make friends.

I find my girlfriend always asking me to calm down and I feel calm during the moment and sometimes think that she and my family are actually the ones with the issues. I'm slowly starting to believe it could be me.

My doctor told me depression and anxiety based off how I told him I was feeling and dismissed bp2 but I'm starting to think of getting a second opinion. My antidepressants don't feel like they are working after my upped dose. I usually go acouple of weeks feeling like **** EXCEPT for after my 12 hour night shift when I should be sleeping, I feel like I can get the most done. My girlfriend begs me to go to sleep lol. Good luck on your search and give me an update, I'd like to hear it.
