Going anon for this post because I don't want to come across like I'm attention seeking, or that I'm not okay, because I've been doing fine lately. I was just wondering something about bipolar disorder. I've never been diagnosed, or really thought that I might be, but it's just a thought that I've had.
There have been a very times when I've been very low, I've never done anything, but heavily considered. I feel so overwhelmed with studies that I don't want to get out of bed most days. I feel 'not good enough' most of the time. I've also had some bad anxiety attacks. with shaking and vomiting.
But there are times when I'm COMPLETELY fine, and I wouldn't even think I was the same person. I'm a creative person, and I enjoy dressing up and going to parties. I wouldn't say my mood was much higher than the average person, it's just a big shift by contrast.
This switch can happen in a really short space of time, or I can feel 'down' for days/ weeks.
Any thoughts/ opinions?
