Is emailing the Samaritans actually all that good?
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010Is this happiness of Bipolar disorder?
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009An hour of feeling like myself, calm, confident, and on top of everything, followed by severe anxiety/depression/nervousnes which lasts anywhere from 5 minutes to the rest of the day. I tried Effexor, which made me want to kill myself one minute, then made everything ok the next. I constantly change my interests: One hour I know FOR SURE I want to go into Psychology, then the next hour the word psychology sounds stupid, and Marketing is the cool thing to do. If I say something another person might not like, I constantly go back and forth in my brain saying “it’s ok, what you said was fine”, followed by an extreme pondering of how it wasn’t fine, “I can’t believe I said that”. Some days I am completely interested in things, and other days I can’t believe I ever even considered what I had once thought. I just tried a DL-Phenylalnine supplement to increase dopamine levels, and within an hour I was emailing/applying/texting people about how badly I wanted to start my marketing career.
I can’t figure out whether or not my normal mood is “calmness” or “depression”. I haven’t been happy in so long. When I start to FEEL good, like today, I truly wonder if I’m being manic, or, just being myself.
I’m 20, Male, diagnosed with depression and anxiety when I was 17
