Hi everyone!
Thank you all so much for sharing your experiences. It makes me feel a lot better knowing that there is a community here I can just come and chat to haha. I am also feeling a bit iffy about seeing a GP for meds, I know that a psychiatrist would have been a better route... i'll ask my GP when I see him next.
My therapist says that I live in my head and that i'm really disconnected with the world. Which is true in a sense, I just feel like I'm walking around in a dream - like looking onto the world through my eyes is like seeing everything as very glassy and hazy. It's hard to explain. I'm feel myself getting depressed again, kind of just sinking lower and lower everyday. I guess I'm just in the stage of trying to allocate the things im going through into the symptoms of bipolar to get some closure or something.. i don't know haha.

But tomorrow is my appointment so I'll see how it goes.. but thank you so much again for getting back to me, you're all so wonderful!
