Bipolar and the Possibility of Trauma Tics
Over the past few months, I have been bouncing between doctors, for various reasons. But the main reason being that my emotions and hormones have been all over the place, and they kept telling me it was situational depression. It in fact, was not situational depression. After struggling with the same psychiatrist, I tried a new one, and got diagnosed with Bipolar. We are not sure yet if it is Bipolar 1 or 2, however I am personally leaning towards the one that is more depressive in nature. Before my diagnosis, I had been struggling severely with thoughts of harm, towards myself and others, and with wanting to disappear into a void. Now that I have been put on a medication specific for Bipolar, those thoughts only come around once every couple of months, which is amazing. I cannot wait until the day that they do not come at all.
