borzage Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi, welcome. That's a damn sophisticated icon for a farm girl They don't want to do anything, yet they told you to take Prozac?? Interesting, considering that it isn't advised for Bipolar people to take SSRI's alone. Maybe get a second opinion and see if you can get a diagnosis. How are you getting worse? People post here compulsively, including me. You will get a lot of support here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unimaginable_you Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Well, they want to be sure that since im soo young its not just hormons pumping thru my body at extream rates. They also told me to read about PMDD, which im like umm its not around my period my highs and lows are happening you piss ants. The same doctor did the same thing to one of my Bipolar friends and she went to another psychiatrist and he said she had Bipolard Disorder . So im confuzzled, i think we are going to have some kind of good diagnosis made on thursday this week. Now im looking back at the past month and im leaning twords Borderline more then bipolar. because borderline describes me in a nut shell perfectly while bipolar can in ways, but not as much as borderline.. ARG i just need answers and Prozac in a teenagers life=destruction major it messes with ya insides and ya brains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARG i just need answers and Prozac in a teenagers life=destruction major it messes with ya insides and ya brains It's possible to be Borderline and Bipolar. Bipolar seems to be a popular diagnosis these days! Borderline is harder to diagnose. Over time it will become clearer, especially if you talk to other people about their symptoms and pay attention to yours. It's also extremely helpful to keep track of what triggers your symptoms. If you had PMDD, it would be perfectly clear because the symptoms come on two weeks before your period. I had it for a long time before I had any idea what it was. With PMDD, you start to get symptoms two weeks before your period. And PMDD symptoms are somewhat different from Bipolar. Be patient, the answers will come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
