Highs and Lows

[scarsbeneathyourbeautiful]

I feel like I have been on such a massive high for the last few weeks I'm now just waiting for a major come down. Things are going to turn out badly, I can tell.

Do you have bipolar or not may I ask?

[scarsbeneathyourbeautiful in reply to mysmugcat]

I've often thought this when I get into these states, but the last time I went to the doctors regarding mental health I was just diagnosed with severe depression. That was several years ago and I have not been back since.

Ok you can always go back if you want a second opinion. How can you tell things will get bad? Is there an ongoing pattern of feeling really high, then really low? Or do you feel you may tell yourself this and believe it? Ps I may not reply immediately.

It's not so much telling, it's more just I've been on a high so now I expect something bad to happen or just naturally I will be on a major low. It tends to be the norm for me, I'm happy for a while and then I'm not, I've kind of got used to it.
