Dear Lindsey:

“Similar to bi polar”, like you wrote. Not bi-polar. It is not a good idea to believe you are bi-polar when you don’t fit the diagnosis because you get confused, misunderstanding yourself, and when you tell  others that, they will misunderstand you.

I know you suffer from symptoms that appear in many diagnoses: OCD, ADD maybe, bi-polar, lots of anxiety fueled disorders, but you are not bi-polar.

I will be away from the computer for a few hours. I hope you feel better soon. (By the way, I was diagnosed in 2011 with bi-polar disorder by a psychiatrist, a diagnosis that my therapist at the time disagreed with, and I disagreed with it myself).
