So I have been wondering if I have aspergers recently. And there has been a recurring pattern in my mental process.
"Yeah! I have aspergers! It explains me".
Usually a few hours later:
"No there's now way I have aspergers cmon your way too normal".
And this has been repeating over and over again for the past couple weeks.
I also generally when I have a idea I usually go though this repeated cycle of optimism and pessimism.
It's not that I am going back and forth of being happy and depressed it's just optimism and pessimism.
So anyone know why this is happening? I mean I guess I could be bi polar but I haven't been depressed lately. I have been taking zoloft and aside from a total of 2 or 3 days (not in order just a couple days where something small happened and I took it out of context and got depressed) the past few months I have NOT been depressed. I used to be depressed everyday (usually with small, very small blimps of happiness that usually didnt last for more than a hour when something small but good happened).
While small stuff can make me very depressed I think it was just me looking to much into it and thinking it was something it wasn't, then once I realized what it really was I was fine. So does that sound like bi polar? I mean the last few months I have been almost always generally happy which I don't know if that happens with bi polar people very much without lithium and stuff. I understand no one hear can give me a definitive answer but I am interested to hear your subjective opinions.
