Hello Princess!
Welcome to NT!
I'm so glad you found us! You'll be amazed at how many others battle this. The Bipolar forum is absolutely wonderful and you'll fit right in - lots of very caring understanding people here.
I haven't been diagnosed with bipolar per se, but I have battled similar symptoms with my anxiety/depression and I know how much this can affect our lives and relationships. I'm so glad I ended up seeing a psychiatrist. It really has helped alot. I was leary about it at first, and didn't want to get put on a bunch of meds that would dope me up. I was surprised, tho, that the meds she did prescribe had a very subtle effect and after a couple of weeks I could plainly see that they were helping.
By being under the care of a doctor and having this site to come to, I feel that I've been able to get my life back and I'm in control of 'me' now.
It's great that you are here! Please let us know how your first psychiatrist visit goes. In all honesty, my first visit wasn't that fantastic and it actually felt a bit awkward, but if you relax into it, I really think it can bring great benefit.
You aren't alone in this and you've certainly got friends and lots of support here!
Caring,
Rae
