Hello,
I'm pretty new regarding real bipolar symptoms I can identify...lately my fears have been escalating and I've been obsessing over some things that after much thought don't make much sense, i.e. my fear of darkness is kinda out of control (I can't sleep without a light on anymore and I run from the bedroom to the fridge and back when I have to get some water in the middle of the night because I think there will be some entity chasing me until I shut out the darkness). Also, my teeth are sensitive again so I started obsessing about having worn down my tooth enamel with my electric toothbrush and now am afraid to brush my teeth too vigorously.
Finally I was refilling my water bottle and kept thinking there was a snake under the big bottle of water that would bite and kill me.
I've recently started taking Lamotrigine and was supposed to take Qetiapine for my depression but haven't because I know it'll make me gain weight and I'm terrified of it
Please, is there something wrong with me? I haven't called my doctor yet and I don't know if I should be alarmed about this.
