confused

[ravenclaw]

i've been on medication for nearly 3 years for depression and for a while they managed to stabalised my moods. but now my moods seem to be going for one extreme to another. i'll be really happy and hyper and fun to be around and then a couple of hours later i can be really down.

is this normal? am just really curious if this is just happening to me or other people have had this happen to them

Perhaps mention your symptoms to your doctor?

I was being treated for depression for something like 2-3 years and then was diagnosed with BPD, and I'm up and down in the same sort of time span.

I think you need to discuss this with your doctor. It could be down to any number of things. Better to check and be safe, I think xxx

I am not an expert and can't diagnose--and you can't self-diagnose either--but do you think you suffer from bipolar disorder? Bipolar is not something uncommon :) I don't suffer from it but I match the description of cyclothymia--which is a milder form of bipolar. It really is hard sometimes but if you have a counselor or a supportive friend it'll get easier eventually :)
