I have a visit with my pdoc tomorrow. I have been reviewing my “mood stuff” over the last several months and I have noticed some things. First, I am just hopping from one obsession to the next, like one day wanting to quit my job to go back to school to be a veterinarian, to buying a house, to adopting a cat, to moving across the country for a new job but in my current field. I get SO IRRITATED when my husband dismisses these thoughts as symptoms. But are they? They feel so real, and the pull is so strong. Right now I feel like I just want to get in the car and go out and start my new life! But, as my T would tell me, that is not “wise mind” talking.
I guess the question I have is should I be concerned that these are symptoms I should be discussing with my pdoc? Or am I just going crazy????? |

Can you self ground and do a pro con list ?
Can you afford to go the vet school? Can you afford to buy a house? Change jobs across the country? Do you have family close to you? I hope you can find out what can work out with life. ((((( hugs )))))) It’s hard to think I the moment.

Well, it sounds like you're pretty concerned about your symptoms. It can't hurt to bring it up to your pdoc. Worst case, he says "no, you're fine." He'll probably appreciate you being open with him anyways

I don't think you're going crazy. But something is going on. It could be symptoms of illness hypomania or something and you need a med adjustment. Or you could be bored or frustrated with you life and need to make some changes. I do think it's a good idea to discuss things with your Pdoc, though.

Yep. It's not always meds. It can be, but it's not always them.
Thing is, they can exacerbate the problem. Sounds like a state where you're uncomfortable, DH is uncomfortable, and pdoc might be a fair sounding board. What can it hurt? Go see the woman. |

Mania or hypomania is going to feel real, but is it really how you would normally feel? Are these things you would want when you are back to being yourself? It is very difficult to recognize mania/hypomania.
If your family doesn’t think you are yourself, take it seriously |
