I have Bipolar 2 .. for the past year I have been in kind of a remission or more hypomanic than depressed ... basically feelin good.
However when I screen for depression - the results continue to say I have severe depression ... yes I do have all the symptoms ... but I do not feel it ..or I am not hurting at all from it.. Wondering how this can be? I probably should be miserable wouldnt you think? I have enjoyed not feeling depressed and I certainly do not want to feel that way again .. does this mean I am about to sink? Has this happened to anyone else?

Maybe it's just part of your personality...some of they symptoms are kinda generic right...so...if your not feeling depressed but you still have some symptoms..or at least that's what tests say...i wouldn't worry too much about it. the last thing you need is some test making you feel like you should be depressed...and then that causing it...

Don't worry so much about the screening. Go with how you feel.

My post was a couple of days ago .. thanks for your replies ... I do on occasion take a test - to monitor my thoughts ... i do not do that often.
Turns out .. those reults were right eventhough i wasnt feeling it at the time .. it only took one triggering phone call today for all those feeling to surface .. actually it took an hour afterward but regardless.. each time it hits like this it gets harder to see through .. evidently what i have relied on during the past events weakens. I probably need to learn new techniques. ... I am not on medication for depression because it makes everything worse.. I am not in therapy because I have been feeling so well for the past year and a half .. balancin this on my own so to speak.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
