I'm just really indecisive this is my biggest problem. I just can't decide what to do for the best my head is telling me one thing but my heart is saying another. My head is over ruling me unfortunately
I know meds are best I just resent them and taking them is making me sick cause deep down I know they aren't for me. I did ask my CPN re life with no meds and she said it is possible but it's all the alternative therapies I would need which would cost me a bomb. I wouldn't get it on the NHS so I would need to pay for it myself which I don't have that kind of money.
I'm arguing the diagnosis again. She says ask my Psychiatrist. I always feel they are holding back on what's wrong with me. I just don't see bipolar in me. I've been reading a book on bipolar and I don't see myself in bipolar 1 (my apparent diagnosis). I speak to my Psychiatrist on the 8th Feb. But I know what he will say you do have bipolar 1.... but why can't I see it?
Bipolar makes me angry as I lost everything with this diagnosis. I just don't know who I am anymore

I don’t feel bipolar 1 either…I think it’s just a catch all for recurrent psychosis that’s not as severe as that in schizophrenia. So my take is if you can’t afford the treatment yet, you know it’s meds for now. That doesn’t mean forever though, give it a year and see where you’re at and reassess. I will say I’m also indecisive but I believe to be due to the adhd which a lot of us also have if tested.
