hi everyone i'm new to this forum so first of all hello to everyone.
i've suffered with severe depression/anxiety and possible ocd for several years.
i'm having a rough time at the moment and could really do with some advice.
sorry to go into so much detail so quickly but really could do with someone to talk to !
my dr is referring me to a psychiatrist - but i'm very worrid about it as the last one i saw seemed to be obsessed with my sex life and not a lot else ! i'm sure it was a one off but i didn't find it very helpful !
anyway i'm on citalopram and amitriptyline for my depression and olanzapine for episodes of mania.
my behaviour at the moment has got very odd and i've read a lot of stuff about bi polar and wondered if this is what's going on.
without going into a full blown essay here are my symptoms: general depression, severe and constant lethargy, severe irritability/ agression, episodes of extreme highs ( over spending / organising social activites that never come to fruition etc ) . the agitation and agression i get is sometimes all consuming. i lay in bed thinking of all the wrong people have done to me and the revenge i can get on them.
2 things that i find terrible are - songs going round my head . i don't just mean the usual humming after hearing something on the radio - i mean incessant tunes going round and roung and ound until i want to scream ! i also get these `ticks' kind of . at the moment it's constant clenching of my teeth- i can feel i'm doing it and try to stop it but have to keep doing it . i know a lot of people have habits but this is really out of control. every now and then i'll get a different one .
anyway i'm gonna sign off for now - thanks for taking the time to read this and any advice most appreciated. thanks
