Thanks for that- it's good to think that someone understands. I went to the doctor today and have been referred to the community mental health team for assessment. Part of me is relieved that SOMETHING is happening, part of me is struggling with the idea of being nuts- I know thats not the best way of looking at it but its hard not to!! I could tell by the questions that the doctor was asking that he thought that bipolar disorder was a strong possibility. So, now its just a case of waiting to see what happens next!

At least I didn't feel quite so ignored this time!

Thanks again, I really do appreciate that you took the time to answer xxx
