Aww, hugs!

I had something like that happen to me the other day. I saw a GP that I've seen once before, unrelated to MI issues, for some things and mentioned that I'm seeing a psychiatrist soon as my psychologist believes I'm bipolar.

He turned around and went, "That's very serious. It's a slim chance you have bipolar." Thanks for confusing that hell out of me - he doesn't know my history and this is the second time his every seen me for a brief amount of time. He has a nice personality but I didn't need all the 'nothing is wrong' ****. Because there is - whether it really is BP or something else.

Docs can be ever so frustrating! Just keep your chin up. Thing I tell myself is that it's nothing personal - for all we know they're overworked that day, mightn't be comfortable with MI etc. I know that's harder to do when you do have a relationship with the doctor. But I know in the past, doctors have tried to 'help' me with things that aren't something they're comfortable with, particularly newer doctors, so you end up being their guinea pig without them meaning it to happen because they think they're still assisting you.
