After recent complaints to my prescibing RN, she's decided I might have ... be ... what she termed "non-shouting bi-polar." (Just a made-up term, I know.)
I think she's right.
It runs in the family, and I do have my moments of manic ("this is the most terrific thing I've ever done!") highs, and accompanying crashing lows.
My depression is so great, it's difficult to get out of bed. And I can't sleep at night. The noise in my head is so uproarious.
It's interesting just to lie there and listen to the music -- scat -- clickity-clack -- noise in my brain.
I feel terrible. I feel like "depression," is one thing -- but being "bi-polar" tips the scales and puts me into true nut-zone-land.
Is anyone out there suffering with subtle (non-shouting) sorts of bi-polar issues? How are you getting along, and what's working? What's not? I see my RN (today's chat was just a check-in via the phone) in a week or two.
Hope I can hang on 'til then.
