So to start of, I've not been officially diagnosed with bipolar but two psychiatrists said they believe i do. The said this when i was sectioned last year after a suicide attempt, I was there for six weeks and began to show hypo/manic symptoms. They said i was too young to be diagnosed.
Anyway that was a little background info. Now one year on my symptoms have worsened and my mood switches nearly every few days. My family have been worried so they made me an appointment at my local GP's office. I am pretty nervous about this, I don't trust doctors anymore. I just can't get the thought that they will section me again out of my head. Since i learned about the appointment my sleeping has reduced to the point i'm awake for 2 days+ then sleeping for only a few hour's, I'm very agitated & angry. I snap at the slightest thing's. I don't like feeling like this, That is why i am going to the doctors but i really don't want to be sectioned again. I am scared that if the doctor even mentions IP i will hurt him. Does anyone have any advice? |

I would first recommend that you think of sectioning as a way to keep you safe and to help you.
It's through the doctors that you'll find a way to deal with whatever is going on for you, whether it's bipolar, or not.

Would it be at the same location? I've been IP in 3 different hospitals and all were very different in experience.

Your reluctance is understandable, but hang on to hope.
