I'm new here, I'm not sure where to start. I feel like my heads in a fog. I've been doing some research, and I'm thinking I have some type of bi-bolar disorder. I've been experiencing major highs and lows, major depression, I drag myself to work, then right back to bed to cry (or not). I'm alienating people. I'm going through a break up, but it was a long time coming. There were lots of contributing factors. I could literally feel myself shifting emotions during the relationship. My emotions were like a wind tunnel. I couldn't get myself out of it. I am not seeing the joy in much anymore (and this isn't 100% due to the break up), and haven't for awhile (even prior to my break up). I have an appointment with a psychiatrist, but they can't get me in until mid July. So for now I'm just trying to get some insight, support, or whatever I need to live another day. Days are becoming a struggle.

Hello. I am new here too. I'm sorry you are struggling. I offered no unsolicited advise...only that I struggle too and it sounds like you are in a hard transition
Hi, it sounds like you have been doing some reading. My advice is to stop that. Spend time doing “light” things like meditation, mindfulness, in nature, at the gym, praying, reading a good book, doing puzzles etc. things that will get you moving towards some peace. Leave diagnosing to the professionals. Your going to be asked many questions and you may sway your answers towards what you have researched and that may not be the best outcome.unless you have specific training in mental health stay away from reading too much, I say this from experience, I used to read about symptoms that create issues for myself. With that said going through a breakup there will be highs and lows, when the lows come stay active. Take the time to learn about loving yourself through this process. When the MD gives their option as for resources and get a specific care plan.
