Bipolar Issues? TW

I find myself ideating more and more.



Part of the fear is that I’m not afraid – if that makes any kind of sense.



I just think about it, over and over, and I’m feeling so impulsive.

Anyway, that’s me. Thanks for listening.

Are you talking to a therapist about this? It's really important that you speak to a pdoc or therapist about these thing so you don't act on them.

I've been trying to access therapy for a long time on the NHS, but because I'm with a specialist MH team they only really cater for people who don't work; basically nothing out of hours that I could actually make it to. There was some talk about referring me back to my GP so they could do another referral to talk therapy, but honestly I just feel like none of them give a ****.

My care coordinator isn't exactly a fluffy kitten, I've been on his casebook for about 18 months now and I've still not been able to call him for advice or whatever. He's very practical - as long as I'm still at work I'm doing 'great'. Very irritating.

The thing is, I need to get off meds to start planning a family. If I talk to my pdoc, who I am seeing on the 11th, she may want to get the meds started again. That would ruin my husband's and my plans for a baby. So I have to be OK. I just don't know how to be OK.

You need to set up an appointment with a therapist/psychologist so you can discuss these urges and idealisation to harm or kill yourself. What you are describing may be an obsessive, intrusive thought pattern that can easily be solved by speaking to someone and going on the right medication (even if only for a temporary time). And there are medications that are deemed safe to take while pregnant if you are worried about that.

I hope you get the help you need!

Sorry that you're having difficulty getting what you deserve through NHS. : S
