Thankyou to all of your replys, Ive been haalways had ups and donws as everyone, i was first depressed about 8 years ago and have been up and down ever since, about three years ago i had a bad really bad panik attack that i didnt realise it was one. I went to the doctor for a year every month and they just kept telling me i had an infection and kept describing me anti biotics.
it wasnt until i rang an ambulance and they told me i had anxiety, this was three years ago now, i have been to c.b.t, seen a private councelor and am currently on my sixth type of antidepressants and have been signed off sick for the past four months because of this. My therapist told me that the syptoms i was describing was like bipolar but he was unable to diagnose me, and i should go and see my gp again. I read somewhere that with bipolar depressive moods last for months and hyper moods last for weeks is this true? if so i dont think i could have bipolar, i have depressive moods where im really low, alomst suicidal, which is what im experiencing now, but sometime i have really high moods where im really happy, and i sort of feel excited with butterflies in my tummy but i dont know why, but they only last for a few days if that. I really want to know how to bring it up with my gp to be reffered to the correct place but i dont want to sound paranoid, i also feel that what if im experiencing these sypmtoms because maybe i suspect bipolar. I have also been diagnosed with health anxiety so am not sure f its something to do with that. I am just sick of going there every four week and the tablets not working so they just try me on new ones. I have also had a lot of issues in the past and in my childhood and when this all started my uncle died because he killed himself, and my best friend slept with my boyfriend and i lost my job so i thought maybe its just something to do with that, I suppose really what im asking is how shall i approach my doctor?
