I am on the same boat as you. Trying to figure out if this week I'm depressed and later I'm 'normal' or is it more serious than I thought. My doctor says no on the bp but he was also skeptical about the depression.
I'm not truly satisfied with the depression label to be honest. I can 'feel' something else. I've had symptoms of bp2 but everyone around me dismisses them and have also had depression for as long as I can remember. Am I majorly depressed? I don't think so. So is it that I have a mild form of depression with happiness in between or when I'm not depressed am I showing signs of bp? It's such a hard thing to determine.
It's even worse that my girlfriend doesn't believe in mental illness. She's one of those people who say it's all in your head, just be happy, etc. I hope you find what you're searching for my friend. Well wishes to you and welcome to the forums.
