I started seeing my therapist for PTSD. At the time, i'd been prescribed a few different SSRIs. One day during a session she told me to look up hypomania. I was so angry because of it's association with BP. She was almost fired that day. In the next session she explained to me that my body seemed to be reacting to the SSRIs like someone with BP. She referred me to a pdoc. By the end of my first session with my pdoc, I was diagnosed. There, of course, was plenty of evidence in my history. I still have a hard time accepting the dx. I want it to be something else.
