It's been a long, hard road, and I don't know how to fix THIS.

I saw the psychologist...she thinks I may have bi-polar disorder.

Why?

Here are some symptoms I am having:

1) Massive fluctuations in my mood. Since I am pregnant, I question this. Aren't there ALWAYS massive fluctuations in mood while pregnant? However, I HAVE been getting really angry really quickly. I'll cry constantly depending on the day...

2) No sleep. Not because I am uncomfortable with the baby necessarily...I just keep having anxiety attacks when I try and sleep. I'll feel like there's things that CANNOT WAIT. I've been having odd fears that I will die...? Strange things that aren't normal for me at all.

3) When I'm not super-irritated or aggrevated...I am depressed. To the point where I am not functioning at home...not cleaning, listless, not wanting to do anything...not interacting with my children like I should...

4) Bi-polar disorder runs in my family. My dad has it.

I'm scared. I don't know where to research at this point. I think that I am so frightened by the diagnosis itself and by what it means: medication for the rest of my life, constant doctors appointments, the strain that puts on the family, etc.

I think that her saying it makes sense in certain ways. I don't know if I want to take this diagnosis while I am pregnant. What if she's wrong and I medicate the wrong thing?

There's 6 weeks to go in the pregnancy, because I am having my c/s the first week in August. Should I wait that long?
