I am a 27-year-old female, and after a very self-destructive incident in college, a campus psychiatrist suggest to me in 2001 that I was most likely bipolar (I was never officially diagnosed though). I took several common antidepressants for a while (Zoloft, Celexa, Cymbalta, and Xanax) but these just left me feeling anxious and sick, and I could not sleep or slow down my racing thoughts. Since then I have moved to a different city, taken a full-time job, and have not tried any other chemical treatments.
The problem is that my feelings of extreme depression, anxiety, agitation, and anger have been increasing as I get older. My moodiness and unpredictability is causing serious problems with my job, friends, and relationships, and I don't know what else to try. I cry all the time for no reason and smash things against walls when I'm frustrated. In college I would cut my skin with sharp objects to calm myself down. I have sex with my boyfriend but I don't feel anything or enjoy it, and I constantly worry that my behavior is driving him away. And if I am extremely down one day, it's very likely that I will be energetic and "high" the next, to the point that the changes are obvious and they interfere with my ability to concentrate on the simplest tasks. Lately, this seems to happen almost weekly, and I feel more and more desperate all the time. These feelings are ruining my life.
Please help me, or let me know where I can get help. Thank you.
