I know I held back on stuff when I was diagnosed because I didn't want to sound like I was crazy, or trying to be crazy. Still ended up with the diagnosis I expected.

Hmmm. I guess that makes sense that sometimes our perception of how we are feeing isn't accurate. It just seems weird when asked how you are to say I dont know. But I don't. Then I start wondering if I am just trying really hard to be okay when I am really not or something? Idk.
I just feel all over the place- no that's not exactly right. Jeez- admitting I can't even identify how I am makes me sound crazier than. I think I am...
Anyway thanks- I guess I'm not the only one who doesn't always seem able to put into words how I feel.
That's interesting about the lithium causing that. I don't take lithium so can't blame it on that though! Take it easy.
