That I have bipolar. My sister has bipolar an I have some distinct characteristics of bipolar.

However, whenever I am in the therapist office...I become extremely depressed because of the topics we will be discussing. Any therapist I have ever seen has not witnessed me in a "euphoric" mood.

I'm 52...and I have taken many of the tests on here in the last week and all of them point to bipolar. Whenever I bring up bipolar to my therapist..she immediately says I don't have it. And when I ask why she says..because my main state of mind is depressive. And I DO NOT have DAYS of mania.

No...I don't have days of mania...in a row...but all the other symptoms that are tied with BP and BPD I do have...lost of pleasure in activities, trouble sleeping, weight gain, physically slow motion and switch to agitation quickly, can't concentrate and racing thoughts and speech.

I am frustrated with the therapists not understanding. I never shut up when I am in the office, I over talk her...my body is always racing..and the current medication combination of Celexa and Lorazepam does not help.

Currently diagnosed.
Major Depressive Disorder
PTSD
Social Anxiety
Generalized Anxiety

I don't know what to do...many therapists I have seen over the years..never go to Bipolar....
