I've suffered with depression for years, would be really down for a couple of months a year, sometimes more, and then would feel better. I've never been to a doctor until this week - a huge step for me - and was looking around the internet for advice.
Having read all the different lists of symptoms for things I'm now really worried I'm bipolar. Please tell me that when you have suffered from depression it is followed by a couple of months of feeling really 'up'.
I always thought this was normal - a pay back for the crapness of being down - please tell me it is.
I know my head doesn't clear until I'm balanced again, but I don't usually do anything too radical (except when my depression became extremely severe a couple of years ago).
Please, please help. TIA
