Diagnosis!

Ok so I was seeing a psychiatrist, Dr Owl, for about 2 months now and getting absolutely nowhere. She said it could be all kinds of things that was wrong with me such as a sleep disorder, epilepsy, SAD etc.. Dr Owl then prescribed me fluoxetine and seroquel. The seroquel completely knocked me out and turned me into a zombie so I started taking it only at night. Then last week the fluoxetine picked me out of my low and flung me into mania. Where I've been ever since. WOOP WOOP.

So today I went to see another doctor and he immediately saw the obvious symptoms and diagnosed me as Bipolar type 1 !!! Result. Feels so amazing to have a name to describe what I feel. And also confirms what I guessed all along!
