Hi! I'm new to this forum and I'm worried about going to the doctor (finally). I've been doing my research, and although I can't be sure until the doctor examines me or whatever, I'm getting really suspicious that I might be bipolar. I have a family history of it (great-grandpa and my cousin) and I've never been able to get a handle on myself.
I'm mostly worried about the first meetings with the doctor and how to go about getting them to pass me on to a psychologist (I'm fairly certain I at least need a specialist's examination
There's something wrong with me
). How did you feel at your first appointments? How did it go?
Some days I feel like I'm just being whiny and should just get going w/o any professionals' help. There's ten-year-olds in Africa that are the oldest left in their town due to AIDS, and they keep going! Yeah, I know thats some mighty guilt-trip speaking, but does anyone else feel this? How do you deal with it?
