Should I go to the doctor?

Hi there... It's been one difficult journey for me and one emotional journey too. I've been thinking about making a doctors appointment I've just been building up the encourage to do so. Thinking about phoning them this week but the only thing is I really dont know what to say to them. I've always been nervous. I've been feeling like that for a while now. Thank-you so much for the advice appreciate it. Xx

You are going through a tough time megan and I can only imagine how hard it would be for you hun..  Could I suggest writing a journal, noting down your mood swings, depression, anxiety, frustrations etc.,  This way, you will have something to show the Doctor rather than trying to remember details that he/she will need to know.  Please dont leave it go on for to long sweety ok..  The sooner you can be diagnosed, perhaps referral to other departments & if necessary, medication to help you feel more well in your self.. You are an important lovely little person in this world & have every right to enjoy things that you deserve to enjoy.  I really do hope you are feeling well soon honey 

Thank-you I've never really thought of that before. Going to start writing it down that way I don't need to tell my doctor they can write it I stare. Thank-you so much for the advice appreciate it. Don't worry I won't leave it been thinking about it for a while. Hopefully I can get appointment this week if not next as I am turning 18 this week. Do you know biploar can run in our family? Thank- you x

'WOW'!!!  Congratulations megan & a HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance.  Proud of you also for making that step forward & enthusiasm by dealing with your health concerns.  Bipolar is one of those problems that is still being researched.  There are many people who do have family related illnesses.  However, there are 3 categories of bipolar 1, 2 or 3.  Depending on your symptoms & how it affects you personally, can only be determined by specialty fields dealing with mental health.  Be encouraged to have a little patience as the waiting time between appointments with Dr's, meds & counselors can be stretched through a climbing demand.  Hang in there hun, it will be all worth the wait I promise xxxx

Thank-you . Again thank-you'd o much appreciated it. I not that long ago I done a eassy on bipolar and all the different types and symptoms and how it can affect the family members. My sister who has it she has type 2 and it has it quite bad with she didn't know she had it until she went to the doctors. Now she is on medication for it. There's days that I am fine happy hyper and that but there's days am angry annoyed crying and just feeling sad and it's been happen a lot. Some on the same days. There's days I am interested in things other days I am not.

Definitely going to write down how I feel

Thanks
