Default Possible bipolar disorder or other disorder..

Yesterday i went to the emergency room because i had major anxiety, Im not sure if Citalopram was causing the increase in anxiety or not but, i have never had anxiety quite that bad before except for one other occasion.

When the doctor came in, i told her everything. The way i was feeling, my rapid thoughts, how i had gotten a concussion and diagnosed with PCS, my drug abuse in the past ( only marijuana, nothing else) and other symptoms.

Some of the symptoms i have that might be from Bipolar:
-Rapid thoughts (sometimes good sometimes bad)
-Severe Irritability (Occasionally)
-Rapid talking (Depending on the person im talking to)
-Memory difficulties (could also be from PCS)
-Fatigue
-Frequent up and down moon
-Headaches and body aches (This might explain some of the weird pains i've had)
-Sleep abnormalities
-Trouble focusing
-Anxiety

The only reason i mention Bipolar because the doctor said it could have been triggered from my past drug abuse, and the fact that my biological father has bipolar.

The anxiety is really just awful, im afraid of going insane, i worry what is wrong with me, im scared i might have psychosis etc...

I'm going to have another doctor appt have them refer me to a psychologist and get things straightened out.

Feedback is welcomed..i would enjoy hearing your thoughts.

Edit: I forgot to mention she also talked about PTSD and say that may also be something that i've come across. =/
