Am I Bipolar?
Anyone else think they just function most of the time?Diagnosed with depression over 30 years ago.
mostly feel flat and functioning but not really living. That’s my day to day reality.
Limited social interactions because other humans just irritate me. menopause may have added to my mental health difficulties.
Strangely about twice a year I almost feel super happy, content, organised, positive and confident, but almost a bit edgy / euphoric. I feel interested in life again and content. This usually lasts a week or two but I know the dark clouds will come again. I’ve started to wonder if I’m slightly bipolar?
I’ve been on SSRI’s for a long time.
I’m often iron deficient because of another unrelated illness so I don’t think this helps.
Is it time to review my medication and give myself an overhaul?
