What are you taking the Seroquel for? Have you already been diagnosed with depression?

We can not diagnose here, but there is much more to bipolar than what you just described. Things that come to mind based off of what you have written are insecurity, paranoia, and being overemotional (which is how I am, because I think these things as well).

Since you are taking Seroquel already, I'd imagine you have a pdoc, so bring these things up with them. Perhaps ask for a reevaluation? Or get a second opinion (they always say a second opinion is something you should do).

Could just be the winter blah time of year. This time of year is always bad for me for depression and usually spring is mania inducing. Feeling that everyone is mad at you is a sign of a persecutory delusion.
Be kind to everyone you come across because you never know who’s suffering inside.

Hi detour12,
I'm definitely not a professional, but maybe you've already tried this, but have you looked up some symptoms of bipolar to see if you identify with them. You could be in a mixed episode, manic episode, or hypomanic episode, or depressive episode, or just be stable, or be not quite as stable as you would like to be. It all depends how your moods are. When I cry nonstop, and I mean I can cry all day long throughout the day over the same thing, my emotions are taking over and I know it's not normal, so I watch my symtoms and try to discern where I am on my mood level. Write down all your symptoms after looking up what bipolar entails. What is the seroquel and mirt for?

When I get depressed I slow down my thinking, I feel so tired and depressed as in low in mood. I don't feel great and it shows when I write or speak. Everything is wrong with my life and everything just seems so hard. Just getting up in the morning is so hard. Depends what level of depression you are in. We can't diagnose but it's good to share how our moods affect us. So I would suggest to watch your mood, write stuff down and see where you are at. Keep us updated, if you can.
