When bipolar exists simultaneously, how can one tell the episodes apart? Does one create the other in a cycle? Is the bipolar just enough to indicate which medicine will work? How do you manage it unmedicated?

Hi Grad,

My bipolar ll is obvious because of my hypomania. I talk a lot, get crazy and spend money. Nothing too out of control. My depression leaves me isolated, feeling phsyically drained and no appetite.
Anxiety is just that. Right now I’m anxious about getting robbed while Christmas shopping. I am on medication for all of it and it helps immensely. I need to go back to counseling but I am not making the effort. I love my counselor and I need the help. However, I take a sleeping pill and get a mass amount of sleep and that helps.

I have a great psychologist and we’ve hit the right mix. The mood stabilizer was key.

Hope this helps and good luck.
