bipolar,or anxiety disorder,but i'm not an expert,you might wanna talk to a psychologist or a close friend who will listen to your problems.

Do you have 'downs' with the 'ups'? Bipolar typically has both aspects. If you don't have the 'downs' as well it could be a form of anxiety. I would seek more specific help...like psychiatric. Some family docs are pretty good with basic psychiatric disorders but if it is more than just the norm I would seek specialized help...it sounds like it is interfering with your ability to function at this point. A psychiatrist will be able to more quickly pinpoint what the real problem is where a family doc may want to try you on a med and then when it doesn't bring about the desired results they will want to change the med on you...all that changing can be worse than the initial problem and be really discouraging to you.

Sounds like a mild case of anxiety disorder. Figure out your problems in your life and you should start fixing those and you'll be fine. Fix your diet too...the food you put in your body has an effect on your mentality. Otherwise, there's something bothering you. And I'm assuming this all started suddenly, or progressed over time into what it is now and if you don't figure out why it started and fix it, it wil probably get worse. I suspect you'd end up shutting yourself into your own home. Figure it out..

I'm not a doctor, and I don't even play one on tv. If you are unsure of the diagnosis your doctor gave you.. seek a second opinion. If they concur I'd suggest asking for meds, so then you can feel more like yourself, it would be a shame to waste time feeling anxioius and missing out on the good things.
Take care..

Yes, it sounds like bi-polar. You must see a doc but also see a therapist you can talk 2 every so many weeks. Dealing w/bi-polar is not just treated w/drugs, you have to learn to deal and think about things diff. So 2 things, TAKE YOUR MEDICINE AND DON'T MISS THERAPIST APPTS. This can maybe one day help you to get off meds for good.

Don't go onto a web site for self diagnosis or for one from people who don't even know you. Stick with your doc's opinion or get a second opinion if you aren't comfortable with their information. But for god's sake, DON'T take someone's opinion that isn't a licensed physician. That could be dangerous to your health. (And no licensed physician will try to diagnose you over the internet!)

start running and make yourself exhausted. and get the heck away from your normal surroundings. wear many colors open the fricken windows. and take a bat to a junk car while screaming at the top of your lungs. if you dont feel better consult a doctor. oh and give alot of hugs.

Get a second opinion. You may just be very depressed.
