Why won't they help me

My eyes hurt so much when im tired all aching.

Im so moody to everyone and have caused some serious sh*t by saying horrible stuff to family members, that I cant control.

I feel so alone.

Are you diagnosed with bipolar ?

Definitely aounds like my symptoms of bipolar.. why wont they refere u to a psychiatrist? You may need to mess around with meds for awhile before you find something that works for u. It took me MANY years to find a combination that worked for me.. finally i found cymbalta and seroquel and im a complete different person.. although after 4 years on thise meds they didnt have the same effect on me and i had a mental break down now im on effexor and ambien and im even better than before. Good luck to you sweetie if u ever need anything dont be afriad to message me

Im not diagnosed with bi polar but I feel strongly I have it. My grandmother was bipolar and spent majority of her 20s in a mental institution(when the locked you up back then).

My brother was mentally ill. Not diagnosed with anything other than depression but sadly aged 25 he walked onto a dual carriage way and died.

I have been battling with my mind for so many years im 30 this year and have two young children.

Im very afraid that my behavior is affecting them.

I don't want to walk into the doctors and be like hey I think I have bipolar etc. But at least refer me for special treatment.

I told them today im up and down. Moody and extremely tired.

My ocd thoughts are being controlled with the sertraline. But im still depressed.

I have to tread carefully as I have children and am now a single parent. I dont want them to be alarmed with my actions. But I am feeling constantly battling. My mind is taking over me.

What do u think I should do?

It's only your GP that can refer you to mental health services if your in the UK. So you'll need to go back to them and tell them everything . But to be honest most people aren't aware that they are mentally ill. I didn't realise I was until I was sectioned and medicated and it took a long time for me to accept it.

You can make a double appointment, that will give you a slot of twenty mins.

Make a list of your problems, fears and concerns before you go to the Appointment. You will find the list will help you explain your needs and you will cover more problems you need explained

You can ask your GP you feel you need a voluntary Section so they can check you over. Although personally I would not wish to go that Pathway

I have not tried it, normally a referral will be made by a Crisis Team, 

Explain your activity at home, and your concerns regarding your condition.

Sometimes I can feel irrational and when that happens my Wife gets worried and She phones the Crisis Team and they are out and about with in about twelve hours or less.

Personally I am always wary of the Crisis Team. I am still having treatment and I will be taking further tests for Dementia in the next four weeks. The test generally take 5/6 weeks in the home as are the CPN calls

Rung the doctors today and asked the reception for the results of blood test. Two things borderline and to discuss with gp at next appointment.

Well I don't know what they are as the reception wont tell me anything, even what a blood test tests for.

So now I must wait till Tuesday till appointment. I feel so tired today I can't even drive my eyes literally feel like they have been punched it hurts to even move them.

I hope on Tuesday I can discuss some of my symptoms again as I just cant even move from the sofa.
