So now that medical causes for my memory problems have been ruled out, I have visited a Psych to talk about possible meds to 'help me.'
He had seen me at the onset of my symptoms 2 months ago, when I was having high anxiety.
He said that he didn't want to rule out the possibility that I'm bipolar and having a manic episode.
My symptoms in addition to memory problems are that I've been very revved up, had a low attention span (like never before), have been unable to sleep (even though I want to), and have missed lots of work/school due to medical testing. I've spent an unusual amount of money, mostly due to the medical stuff.
I think -- except for the severe insomnia and inability to stop thinking -- that my symptoms are situationally based, not mania. I don't feel the elation one would normally associate with mania. What would you suggest?
