Hi,
I have been diagnosed with ADD last summer. And I was in college for a 11 month course. Doing so well, just thought it would be something that I would like to do, but kind of changed my mind. I was taking hairstyling. I had a very bad day the Friday before. And was feeling so depressed that whole weekend til last week I just made a funny joke that kind of offended the women in my class about the local people around here and they got mad at me and attacked me on FB. And ever since then I don't even want to be in school. And I noticed ever since then to I get so mad, upset, frustrated with people. My parents, in-laws and some friends want me to go back to school to finish and I don't want to and they are making decisions for me which I don't get. I tell them over and over not too and they still have the nerve to put their 2 cents in everything. I have not been myself for the last couple weeks now. A couple of my friends say it is either an anxiety disorder or Bipolar and that I should talk to my family doctor about. I am wondering is it the reason why I get so mad easily over everything? I get so irritated and annoyed by people. That I can't face or to be around people who make me that way. Is anyone going through the samething as me? I don't think I can handle school now. I need to get myself together first. I do think there is something wrong with me like an emotional problem.

Hi sh30adhd, Sorry to hear about all the stuff going on. You can get tested for Bipolar. Bipolar you massive mood swings to a degree you are really really happy then a sudden drop to depression. Have you been Diagnosed with depression? You don't think your anger is so extreme because of the ADD?

Hi sh30adhd. Welcome! It's definitely a good idea to get a psychiatric evaluation by a professional. Several disorders have overlapping symptoms and many people are diagnosed with more than one condition. I don't have Bi Polar, but I do have a bunch of anxiety disorders and one of my symptoms is intense irritability.
I hope you're able to make an appointment with a doctor or psychiatrist soon. Let us know how you get on!

I agree completely with sundog. It sounds like you're in a rough place no matter what you call it and would benefit from a psych evaluation. If you have a disorder you can get help, if you don't you'll have that peace of mind and can more easily focus on the external problems you're facing.
I hope this helps and yes, please let us know how you're doing. Cyran0
