For a start i really didn't like the way he spoke to me, he spoke to me as if i was guilty of something
I have terrible social anxiety so i was hoping the psychiartrist would be a welcoming friendly person.
He started off asking me what i thought was "wrong" with me, i said i didn't know. So he asked me to explain my moods to him.. I said that i get depressed, over eat, over sleep, get tearful and feel unable to do anything.. then i get ups where i dont sleep, dont eat, feel really positive and full of energy. He asked about family history, i said i didnt know much. Then asked me if i've heard of bipolar and if i thought i had it, i said i didn't know. Then he asked if he could speak to my mum, i hesitated then he said go get your mum! So i did.
He asked her about my moods (Ive never spoken about anything with my mum) and spoke about my depression.. She told him that i've said i'd be better off dead and he asked her if she felt i meant it and she said yeah, she never knows what i'm going to do, and fears i could end up doing it eventually. I could hear the sadness in her voice and i was nearly crying. She told him that sometimes i just snap for no reason and she never knows which one of me shes going to get. Then they spoke about my 'ups'. And he asked her had she heard of bipolar? And she said yes and he asked does she believe i have it? and she said yes
He said he doesn't know whats wrong with me, hes skeptical about it being bipolar because i'm only young, so me and my mum have to write a mood diary for me over the next 6 weeks, then he'll see me again for a further discussion.
I wont lie i've thought i might have bipolar but hearing what my mum said, it broke my heart. I love her dearly and i can see how much i'm hurting her. I am praying they can give me a diagnosis soon, so i can get treatment and try to rebuild my life.
Anyway i just wanted to say all this as it was building up and bringing me down
