I have always been told my problem is being add/adhd (wish I still had the hyperactivity).

Donna:

We ALL go through times where we doubt we are BP. However, your pdoc didn't just give you that dx on a whim, I am sure. Hang in there, and keep with the meds. If those particular meds aren't cutting it, make your pdoc change them and keep posting.

the interesting thing is, they never said, or gave me an official diagnosis....but I think they are pretty close saying my dd is....and that is also another reason that makes me wonder if its just bp and not add co-morbid with bp....does that make sense?


I have also read that they are finding out they are mis-diagnosing kids for add/hd when they are really bp !!!

another thought with anger issues, do you think you might have better coping skills now? I know I do and I don't feel as angry, or if I do I control it better...and I am also better at verbalizing my feeling as opposed tokeeping them locked in. So, maybe you are too. :) Just a thought!

I do think its better...I know I could do better, and still around pms/af time it gets bad.


Last fight with dh...even tho I did slam the door, I walked away sooner.
