If anyone can help me out I’d be so grateful. I know I can use google but I figured asking here would be better with more accurate results.

Here’s my problem: I finally said enough is enough and I made myself an appointment a new psychiatrist. This is I think the 4th one I have started out new with. The thing is with my very first, long interview visit, I want to bring in all my medications and a very long note of everything about me and what I go through.

The weird problem is now that I need to know certain small things I deal with or something I go through or something that happens to me, I can’t think of it!

I have basic things written down and such so far.

What I’m basically asking is if you can list your symptoms or what you go through or deal with during:
Mania
Depression
Mixed
Hallucinations

I want to read through and see if I relate so I can put it in my note. I just want everything with my new pdoc to go well.

Do you recall the behaviours that go along with your episodes? These would be helpful to the psychiatrist.

That is a lot to list. Don't ask us, what are your symptoms? That is more helpful for your Psychiatrist.

It’s hard for anyone to give you “ ideas” on how your BP effects YOU.

Maybe to find your particular struggles look back at your posts on here as they show what you go through

“ ugh never mind” is kind of rude , just my opinion of course.

Hope this newest Pdoc helps you find stability.

They will most likely want to reassess your diagnosis anyway. It may be helpful to write down symptoms and duration. Sleep patterns. List of medications.

I'm not bipolar, but when I'm depressed I sleep a lot more and lose interest in everything. I also isolate.

[jtassar93]

It’s cool. I don’t really care anymore. I’m done with this useless site.

It’s a shame you feel this way considering all the support you have gotten since you joined.

Good luck.

Passive aggressiveness....

[jtassar93]

I’m so sorry I just feel I was at the end of my rope and I can’t think straight and I like to push people away and be mean so no one would care I’m just having such a hard time right now. You’re right this site has helped me so much I just didn’t want anyone to care when I was gone

[yellow_fleurs]

jtassar93 I am sorry you are having a hard time. I hope you feel cared about here, I know it can be hard to feel people care when you are not doing well. It is something I have tried to become mindful of myself, so that I can recognize it is just how I am feeling at the time.

I agree that looking back over some of your posts here and making some notes could be a good way to remember things you might otherwise forget. Do you track your moods? I used an app previously, Daylio, for that. If you are not sure which category it falls into, like whether or not you were manic at the time, making a list of past symptoms and any patterns should be enough for your psychiatrist to start with. Hope you find one that can help. Do you also have a good therapist?

[jtassar93]

I sincerely apologize to everyone I yelled at passively aggressively in my posts. Please read my last post.

This site has helped me. I guess in my original thread I didn’t want to relive all my failures and think about how horrible I am. But I will. I will read them and make my own note to my psychiatrist

I hope you stay ... I just want you to find peace in your life .... Love ...Tigger ..
