I spoke to my T today about my concern about bipolar and it he does not think i suffer from it. Thats fine with me, but what annoyed me was the reasons why.
He said i had many problems similar to people with bipolar, but what eliminated me from having it was the fact that i know some things or events can trigger my mood, or that i still love my son when feeling down. He also said that if i was bipolar it was impossible to go up and down as frequent as i do. I can go up and down daily. I mentioned rapid cycling but he said that you only develop that because of medicine  What he described to me was all bipolar 1, not a hint of bipolar type 2. he then said i need to write down whar thoughts i get when feeling down and the we have dto discuss that further.. Blaaaaaaaaaaaaah Now i am back to square one.. |

hmmm... it troubles me that he would find something wrong with you loving your son even when you're down. i had a major depressive episode that required inpatient treatment. and though it was terrible, i still loved my boys. they are what kept me alive. they actually both got sick with bronchitis while i was in the hospital and i was so concerned about them that i completely disregarded what i was going through and was overly concerned about them. i don't know about that comment. i don't see what that has to do with bipolar disorder. i would be annoyed too. i hope everything works out for you and hey if you feel uncomfortable with that T find someone else. you have to do whatever you need to do for yourself.

Let a psychiatrist make the clinical diagnosis...your therapist shouldn't be making that call.

Psychiatrists are called pdocs here.
Therapists are usually counsellors or psychologists.
