I said 'need to explain more'

I have a GP who administers my meds every 2 months as I do not get a repeat prescription since my meds change occassionally. I go between 2 female GP's and they have both seen me manic, depressed, anxious and everything in between!

I have a CPN (Community Psychiatric Nurse) who I got through my Psychiatrist. I would say he is kinda like a T in the sense he counsells me. He gives me tips on how to deal with my issues and also helps me to keep safe. He liases with my GP's and Psychiatrist. I touch base with him monthly but this is soon to stop unfortunately. He can also prescribe meds and or up or lower them. He counsults Psych though

I have a Psychiatrist who I see every 2-3 months. He is leaving in September so awaiting anxiously for new Psych

I have for over a year now been involved in a Mental Health Charity called Penumbra and I have Support Workers there. I receive 1:1 emotional support weekly from them. I go to activities through them too ie badminton, swimming, tai chi and a book club. Through this I have made a good few friends

I also attend a Depression Group every 2 weeks. I'm the only Bipolar'er in the group but hey it helps me sometimes

Then there is my family and friends too who give unconditional support
