Halliebeth,

Below I've have pasted some links to three bipolar screening quizzes. You may want to print them, fill them out and show them to your counselor when you go to help you explain what's going on:

http://www.dbsalliance.org/questionnaire/screening.asp
http://www.mentalhelp.net/poc/view_d...nt=clnt00001&&
http://psychcentral.com/quizzes/bipolarquiz.htm

Please note that these are for screening, don't take any results as final until you have seen a psychiatrist (not a psychologist or therapist. Medical diagnosis is reserved for MDs, period).

Below is a link to a mood chart you can print and use to record moods and symptoms, also to help you explain what's been going on with your moods.

http://www.lamictal.com/bipolar/pati...ood_chart.html

I hope these are helpful...

DJ

I was hoping maybe you, my friends, could advise me as to how I should start my first session at a new mental health clinic.

I know it's a scary thing to go do something like this for the first time, but it needn't be scary. The doctor or therapist should lead you along.

I would have down your symptoms, complaints, whatever you call them...it's very easy to forget something important in the course of the conversation. Don't get too worried...they aren't there to judge you, but rather to help you feel better.

Good luck--
DJ ummm

It's been bad---they even postponed the football game for an hour, and it was the first time since 1964 that Tennessee didn't run through the big "T" the band makes on the field...bad juju!!!

It's better right now (6:00pm), but it's supposed to get worse again in a while.

Stay dry!

DJ ummm ummm ummm
