I am currently:
bipolar disorder?

Well i don't know if this is a possibility or not. I feel like the symptoms i get (whatever they are) disrupt my life.

this is what it's like:

Some days for no real reason (sometime even when something bad happens) I feel really happy, and almost like i am high like i have taken some drugs. (i don't take drugs, apart from my medication clomipramine) I'm not just in a good mood, i feel amazing, and restless like i don't want to sleep. Very chatty, very active, want to go out and party and drink. feel very sexual, like i want to have sex with loads of people (i don't, just have urges) have loads of ideas and plans in my head and just feel very excited. I also have a high self confidence when i am like this, feel beautiful and sexy. This is all unlike me. I am not a partying person atall, and usually don't have a high sex drive either. and usually don't have a high confidence level either, usually i am a very quite person.

other days i feel very depressed and anxious. Want to sleep alot, don't want to talk to anyone. have low self confidence and feel ugly. sometimes feel like i can't get out of bed. feel excessively guilty about everything. have alot of suicidal ideation. and feel suicidal.

I feel like maybe i could cope with this if it wasn't so changeable. sometimes it's for a few days other times just a few hours, so my mood changes so often, and it makes me depressed.

I also did an nhs bipolar screening test online which said i have a high likeliness of having an illness in the bipolar spectrum. But i'm not sure how accurate that is.

neither my doctor or phyc have ever mentioned this though, even when i have described my symptoms, they said it was just down to anxiety.

I have been diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder, an eating disorder, Obsessive compulsive disorder and major depression.

what do you think?

We can't diagnose you here. It would be best to bring it up again with the professionals you see.
I would recommend staying away from online screening tests.
It might be helpful to ask the doctor and psych specifically about what you suspect. Have you brought it up with them and asked their thoughts about that particular diagnosis?

Did they explain why they thought your anxiety would effect your mood like this?




Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?
