I went to the pdoc today and was able to convince her that I'm experiencing severe anxiety and am not manic and in fact have never had the symptoms of mania or hypomania. Of course she then went on her thing about not using labels, etc. and how it's not the labels, but the...whatever. That's fine, except for the whole theory of "kindling" with regards to bipolar. Sometimes there just needs to be a label if one is there. So I pushed her because really, if something is not wrong with me GREAT, but if she has reason to think I'm bipolar, then she should tell why she thinks this and let me be treated for it. I'm looking for someone for an overall second opinion anyway.
