I am feeling more than anxiety but fear and often terror about what lies an hour ahead, a day ahead, a week ahead etc
My mind feels tortured, unless I distract myself which isn't easy to do, my mind projects ahead and goes on a continuous loop and I have frequent panic attacks and overall at the moment I feel so weak and frail and worn out by it all. Iwas started on quetiapine last ...

I haven't cut for a while now, a week or two, and though I think about it a lot I don't think I'll easily go back to it.

I am very confused by my diagnosis of Bipolar II. I don't know if i actually have Bipolar or if i have just manifested the symptoms, or rather found the symptoms in my memory. I watched a BBC documentary on manic depression with Stephen Fry and it was wonderful, I kept thinking to myself "I know exactly what that feels like!", when they were describing some of their symptoms of mania.

Does anyone else withdraw from people? I felt like it especially today. I just didn't want to be around anyone, including my family. They hadn't done anything, I just felt like being alone. Most of the day I spent in bed in and out of sleep, or reading books. Books are becoming my savior; they give me something to do, stimulate my imagination and challenge my mind. Lately I've been so bored. There really isn't ...
