Last summer I hit rock bottom and decided I needed serious help. I arranged to see a psychiatrist and seek a diagnosis for what was wrong with me/ medication management. She diagnosed with bipolar in 3 minutes. I informed my therapist about my diagnosis, she said that it didn’t sound right and was pretty headstrong in her belief that I had adhd. I told my psychiatrist about my weariness in thinking I might’ve been misdiagnosed and she was very receptive and ended up doing an assessment. I was then medicated for adhd and depression.

Now the problem comes in where
I think the bipolar diagnosis might’ve been correct as well, I might have both but I’m not sure. Today it dawned on me that I’ve been stuck in a loop of having really negative emotions over the dumbest thing for about 2-3 days and then suddenly I’ll feel amazing like I’m on top of the world and nothing matters and life is great, I won’t even remember feeling depressed. I never do anything too risky or outlandish so I actually really enjoy when I feel like this. I realized I usually get this feeling when I don’t get enough sleep.

Idk exactly what information I’m seeking to get from this post, just wondering if anyone else is in a similar predicament
