Suspected bipolar

[Russell]

Hi all, Following two years on citalopram for anxiety, my moods have taken a darker turn this year. Since around January, I have experienced episodes of deep depression, suicidal thoughts that seem to come every 4 to5 weeks and last for about 5 days and then just lifts! Saw the gp last week who took me off citalopram and moved me on to venlaflaxin. I'm on a month trial, but struggling with mood swings and I'm not sure which of my thoughts are real and which are my illness talking. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I'm sorry nobody responded to you on this thread.  Personally I have been really busy so try and catch up when I can.
