...when you're up you're up and when you're down you're down and when you're only halfway up, you're neither up nor down. Okay, I will admit that it would be nice not to go straight from "Everything is fanTAStic!" to "i will never be able to accomplish what i set out to do so why even try. i'm going to bed." within a matter of seconds. And sometimes I do. How do you tell when emotional response/activity level/reactivity are part of a person's temperament and personality and when they are a pathology? Maybe when they start interfereing with your life, or endangering your health. I am terrified of being boring. Normal. A carbon copy. Doing things the same way as everyone else. I am afraid to lose the way my brain skips from one thing to the next and arrives at amazing conclusions that I didn't see coming. Enough. I am not going to worry about what the doc may or may not say because I bet you a dollar that she will say I have atypical depression that is somewhere on the spectrum in between regular unipolar Depression and Bipolar. I even might bet you two dollars. And hopefully she will say I can continue to stay on just my antidepressants as long as I am regularly monitered to make sure that the hypomania does not bloom into mania. Because that would just suck. Grateful Crap: I don't know. Daily Convexions: took meds ugh. Comments are closed.
