so i go to a community services clinic to see pdoc/case manager...
i have been going there for some years now, i have horrible time perception so im not sure how long i have been going but i know atleast 3 years...
my pdoc diagnosed me pretty quickly, i did an evaluation with a therapist and apparently the results came back as bipolar
since the first meeting the pdoc hasn't asked me any questions, he just talks to my case manager for a few minutes then calls me in the room to tell me what he's going to do...
if i dont complain or talk to my case manager then nothing gets said...
i just moved to a new county and had to switch clinics, i got a new case manager that i have only met 2 times but i still have the same pdoc...
i like the new case manager but i feel like a broken record repeating the same thing over and over, i've tried really hard doing what im supposed to do to get a propper diagnosis...
so the only power i have is to stop taking the medications that i dont like on my own, and i have stopped just about all of the meds he had me on besides the seroquel...
i think this made him a bit upset and probably has me listed with some form of compliance issue....
i have a hard time believing that i am bipolar, and i dont believe i have an accurate diagnosis because of this pdoc not asking me about whats going on...
i think that i need to change pdocs for a few reasons, i only get to see my current pdoc once every 6-7 months... and that is not soon enough for me, i need more attention to my problems so that we can diagnose me properly and treat it accurately
its hard enough for me to talk about my problems, my thoughts and focus are so scattered
i've never changed doctors before but my GP refered me to a psychiatrist that i haven't met yet....
i have to call them and see if they will accept my insurance, and see if i can schedule an appointment/get treatment from him
i really pray that he accepts my insurance because he sounds like a really good pdoc....
i need to be re-evaluated, i dont trust my pdoc that im with now because he doesnt even ask me how i am, i am taking medicine that is hurting me more than helping me, i feel like i am misdiagnosed Bipolar I and want to get to the bottom of what is going on... which i haven't made any progress in a long time... im tired all of the time, no motivation and trying to keep myself from becoming depressed...
i am having a lot of trouble concentrating so im sorry that this post is all over the place...
i think its time to change my pdoc...
have any of you had similar experience? what should i do
