Welcome. Getting a proper dx makes a huge difference and adding on a medication like Lamictal is a big step on getting control of your moods back. I'm on Lamictal myself and LOVE how I feel now. Be patient with this drug as it takes a while to move yourself up to a theraputic dosage due to possible side effects.
I know how you feel when you say that it is hard to realize some of your behavior or feelings aren't normal reactions. I have felt for a long time as if my mind has betrayed me and I can't trust how I feel. I began using my husband as a measuring stick for my emotions. For a long time I would ask, "should I be feeling this way?"
Remember we are always here to help if you need support.
