I haven't been here in awhile 'cause I was preparing for a major move from NY to Florida. I found a new Pdoc and saw him for the first time on Friday 3/20. He spent 2 HOURS with me! And he gave me a brand new diagnosis. He says I have Bipolar NOS, NOT cyclothymia & major depression. I am shocked! But I did have an inkling that my first diagnosis might not be quite right--I couldn't see how major depression and cyclothymia could coexist.

Ok. So can anyone tell me where I can find out more about this form of bipolar (not otherwise specified)? I sort of feel helpless again--like I'm starting over. Pdoc is changing my meds--has started me on Lithium and will eventually take me off of the other meds I was on (Seroquel, Lamictal, and Cymbalta.) He may add something with the lithium at some point.

This is all new again and somewhat stressful in addition to the move, new people, new neighbors, new church, remodeling our kitchen, still unpacking and on & on...

I'm on overload; sometimes really bad with the forbidden dark thoughts.
Please give me some feedback if you can. I would appreciate it.

thanks, Journey
