After my attempt, I was diagnosed as Bipolar 2 but I am still not sure if I am bipolar. (I was 52 years old.) That is why I don't post much in the bipolar forum. I also have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and I definitely agree with this diagnosis. The thing is that when you have anxiety you can sometimes worry that you have all kinds of illnesses and bring it up to the doctor. My dear grandmother had some physical health issues (they caused her to get pneumonia often) that put her in the hospital more than once so every time she got a little sick she would start worrying it was something more serious. Most of the people in my family have trouble dealing with stress. We all have a tendency to work longer hours and/or have trouble sleeping when work deadlines loom or we are dealing with tough personal relationship issues. Anxiety runs in my family for sure. Also, when I made that 2015 attempt, I had been dealing with menopause issues for a while (extreme bleeding that made work more stressful because when you are in a call center, you are stuck on the phone, constant hot flashes, etc.) and the menopause did effect my moods.
