Hello Grim_potatoe: Welcome to PsychCentral... from the Skeezyks! May you find the time you spend here to be beneficial.

I don't know whether or not you are bipolar. This is really for a trained mental health professional to determine. A similar sort of thing happened to me a few years ago. While I was in the hospital, the psychiatrist who was treating me concluded that there might be a bipolar element to my depression. So she put me on Abilify.

Personally I look at all of the various diagnoses mental health professionals give us as just being a way of categorizing us... mostly for their own convenience. Every mental health professional I have seen, over the years, has had a little different perspective with regard to what's going on with me. Yet through it all, I was the same person. And, in the end, it hasn't ever seemed to make much of a difference one way or another. But... good luck with your efforts. I hope you find the correct diagnosis for you...
