OK, WebMD...
Right now, all signs point to Bipolar Disorder.
What the heck?
First therapist in 98 said ADD. She suggested Welbutrin, which I tried and loved it. It was a real pain to get the script filled though.
In 2000, my mom did this wacky thing that yanked the blinders off and forced me to see my my childhood in a clearer light. This unexpected blinder-pulling sent me into a self-diagnosed nervous breakdown. I went to this psychologist who gave me a script for Valium. I never filled it. Can't remember what he actually diagnosed me with, but I didn't go back to him. Then found a fabulous therapist who helped me to look at some really painful things from my past. Taking blinders off was...crazy. I'm not even going to begin to tackle this right now, but for better or worse I took an honest look at my childhood.
Anyway, she diagnosed me with depression.
The anxiety was not a big issue then.
