Hi guys , I know I don't have bipolar .
I do have ptsd , anxiety and depression .
Most days are apathy but some days are full on depressive episodes .... and sometimes I have the anxiety / energy where I just need to keep moving and do things ..
Do others have these moods ? Like polar opposite moods but no diagnosis of bipolar
In response to: Not bipolar

Hi @HotSalsa
I almost do... I experience all of that, except the high energy side of the spectrum...

@HotSalsa I have heard that higher doses of that generic anti depressant can have a a stimulant effect...
I wonder if that might the situation for you?... or even if it's a thing?
