Well Here Goes Everything

Like the title says here goes everything.

Little bit of background. In 7th grade I was dignosed with ADHD and depression. The depression was brought on by a family history and also losing my dad at the age of 9.
At 14 I stopped all depression meds due to the hallucinations I was having on them. I had been fine in controlling the depression up until this last yea when I lost my fathers brother in the same manner I lost my father. and I had a miscarriage around 5 months ago which was also very hard on me mentally and physically...

My parents are now thinking I might be bipolar.(which also runs in the family) I am going to my doctor today to see if we can't figure this out. I so want to be normal again but I am scared to be back on the meds that caused me so many problems.
My SO thinks I'm just depressed but looking back at everything I think that bipolar fits the symptoms better. I hate to think that I have yet anothe thing to add to my list of issues. But I'm also tired of the every 2 wks or so feeling like the world is ending and wanting to just go off.

If you made it thought The post thanks for listening and thanks for allowing me to rant.

Edit**
My other issues include ADHD, back issues, arthritis in my neck and knees, asthma, tourette syndrome, eye issues, sinus issues, hearing issues and shin problems from high school. I am adding this just so that it makes more since why I don't want to add to the list. The good thing out of it is that my issues are harder to notice than a physically disability

I have a loss of hearing on my led side due to my older brothers tourette syndrome, I can hear some through that ear but it is hard if I don't see the persons lips. I learned to read them somewhat to help make up for the fact I have the loss

Probably not a good idea. I don't react well to it
