Something doesn't sound right with your mood. Try to avoid diagnosing yourself. Self diagnostic is often a flawed practice. We don't see ourselves as clearly as we think we do more often than not. I'd talk to your doc about Zoloft and how you are feeling....it's very possible it's a bad medication fit for you. Take care and be safe. Keep controlling your urges since you can. When you can't, that's when you really need to worry but constantly having urges you need to fight off is no way to live. Good luck.

My neurologist, who made me take zoloft, said I might have a mood disorder, but that a pdoc must see me to diagnose it. he said I should do psychotherapy, bur that I need to be into it and willing to cope, which I can't. I know I'm not depressed all the time, there are some "shiny" days when I want to do new stuff and learn new things. Those days last no more than a week and they are somehow not in a row. There's mild depression within them. Also, my depressive days are somewhat mild, I realize I'm not going to succeed as much as I desire in life even though I might do my best, and those thoughts steal away my will of living. I might hurt myself and realize I will end up ending my life one day, but "that day" never comes because I'm still young and I want to be sure I won't succeed. I have no clear memory of happy days, I'm just aware they existed some weeks/months ago (when I try to realize if I just better from depressive state or was acting a bit too much). Also, how can a pdoc diagnose bipolar if bipolar people aren't aware when they're manic? At least bipolar II, hypomania doesn't make you end up bankrupt or dead, meaning it doesn't leave "clear signs" it happened, you know?
