Mental health diagnosis??
Question: Just curious if anyone comes up with what my current doctor is saying.
I lie for no reason. I buy things i dont need, as well as buy things for other people, even when my bills are piled up at home. I spend money and hide it from my spouse (VERY large amounts) I feel anxious and jittery all the time as well as guilty.
I cant focus- I feel like that whirling mess around pigpen on snoopy. Some days I want to do everything- even clean corners with a toothbrush and dont sit or eat for 12 hrs straight. Other days I dont want to shower or move off the couch.
One day I am friendly and kind, the next cranky and want to be left alone, even by my kids.
I'm never happy with myself, my home, my car. I think I want something- pine forever for it, do anything to get it and then dont care much about it after I get it.
I say things to my boss that I know he could fire me for- just for a thrill. If I do get fired, it would suck but I do it anyways.
I just dont know how to change.
Answers: Sounds serious OK, but it is not very clear in the pattern. Do you have quick and short ups and downs? Sounds like it cycles rapidly. It could be a quick cycling mood disorder like bipolar which would mean a drug like lithium which most bipolar hate to take for long periods of time because it knocks the stuffing out of you and keeps you in a down mood all the time. Bi-polars love the highs, like the rest of us sick basters addicted to adrenaline rushes but bi-polars are the sometimes the worst at this love of ups and then comes the crash.
You sound like you are suffering the blues of being obnoxious half the time. That is a possible sign of a serious personality disorder.
From living with myself I have witnessed this middle period sort of about half way from bottom going up and half way from and top going down where I am more introspective, or quiet inside, but just incommunicado with others, if you get my drift.
It is during that period that I sometimes can see or understand
what I am aside from confusing others or saving them from themselves. When I most obnoxious, I have a real sense of who I am, of some wholeness, and I actually feel pretty good at that time.
It occurs to me that this obnoxious period is a good place to hold up the roller coaster ride for a season or two or reason or two. I think it is the obnoxious time that is the closest I get to being me, it just needs to have a little time to mature. So somewhere between the worst and the best is a place others and ourselves may actually call home.
Certainly the highs and lows are not the place to be. Your kids for example need some lead time on how you might approach them or treat them. Or you might say it this way, it is only fair and normal to want to know what is in store for you or them at any given time. Expectation is more than half the battle in life.
So lets do everyone a favor and get a grip on the rail of life so
we can be there in some expected and even promised fashion for others as much as possible and in a way that does not disappoint or scare them too much.
I am doing it, and so can you! Just find your spot.
Are you bi-polar, ADD, or ADHD, suffering from depression? Sounds like your chemicals are off. Are they putting you on any medication and monitoring you? I hope that you get some help so you can get things in order for you and your family. Take care of yourself!
Sounds like Bipolar Disorder
Doesn't everybody do these things?
Thanks alot. Now you have me wondering if I need help.
Great.

manic depression (bipola) and ocd
A lot of what you're describing can be encouraged by ADHD plain and simple. It could be a matter of manic episodes too, but that would require a larger idea of what's going on in your life, and wouldn't generally be every day, all the time. Especially since the disorders overlap, it's hard to say, but then everything you've said points to ADHD without necessarily going so far as mania.
This is definantly a majorly critical case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
The impulsiveness, compulsiveness, and crankiness may be related to mania. Bipolar disorder maight be a correct diagnosis, but there may well be anxiety mixed in. Antidepressants and mood stabilizers will help all of those. I think there are underlying personality issues as well, perhaps Borderline Personality Disorder. What did the doc say?
OCD/...Obessive Comulsive Disorder/ Bipolar
I am no doctor, but you sound like you are in Mania, the opposite of depressed. I was diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder and discovered that most of the time, mania goes unnoticed until a depression sets in, then the diagnosis comes. I was manic for years and no one noticed until I fell into a deep depression. Compulsive shopping, compulsive sex, throwing yourself 110% into projects including compulsive cleaning are symptoms of mania. I hope you and your doc can find a solution before it turns into depression because what goes up must come down. Good luck.
sounds like bipolar....which is very treatable as long as you stay on medication....get a professional diagnosis and you will get better
Bi-Polar with ultra rapid cycling. Please go see a doctor. Unless you like being this way. But since you posted a question, I doubt that you do.
I would say Bi-Polar Disorder (lying, buying lots of stuff, inability to focus = mania; unhappy, isolative = depressive state)
I am glad to hear that you are seeing someone though. Mental illness can be very confusing and scary. Make sure you find someone you can feel open with and ask the 'silly' questions that pop up and you will find that as you learn more about it, your behaviors will change as well.
sounds like there could be two diagnosis there
1) depression
2) bi-polar
sounds like your life is a bit like mine i don't realy know whats wrong with you but maybe you need to try something new sounds like you are just tired of your life maybe you need to do something that you get a thrill out of doing
Get on a healthy diet. Cut out the sugar, refined wheat, and dairy. Eat more fresh fruits & veggies. Take an Omega 3 supplement daily.
