oh no ... my joke about 80% proof alcohol probably didn't help....:shocked: ... removes foot from mouth

I've had blood tests a while back but that about 6 months after I had Lucy and thats normal.

But its gotten a lot worse recently.

Maybe you are bi polar?

dont start on the mothers ruin KiZ its a rocky road! I prescribe a dose of Peter Kay live in yer Jamas in bed with a hot water bottle

LOL..... I was referred to my local mental health team, had a very intensive session with the Occupational therapist who then contacted me after speaking to her team who said that I was too prepared and didnt have any problems about discussing my 'issues' ( I was told to go prepared with a thought diary and to try and write down how I was feeling each day).

And from that one session she said that they couldnt help me because I didnt have BiPolar and that I have a Personality Disorder....pffs

I didnt even get my feet thro the door.

I'm now waiting to see a 'specialist' in Leicester and in the meantime I'm on some pretty heavy duty anti-d's that make my mood swings even worse.

Good days are brilliant...... and bad days are deeply crushing. There doesnt seem to be a middle ground :sad:

Ohh to stay in bed all day.... sadly thats not possible

A personality disorder? Oh dear. How did she figure that one out?

I know what you mean about being really up and then really down and having nothing in the middle. Its not a good feeling.

When do you see your specialist?

I dont know...... My GP has written an referral and I'm in the system somewhere but as and when I get to see someone he cant tell me.

It could be weeks or months

I am really angry that she has slapped this label on me and shut the door.

Personality disorders are a load of rubbish.... its just a stigma which they can push onto you when they dont know what to do with you because your not ill enough in their eyes or pose a significant enough threat

as for how she figured it out....... she didnt say..........:bored:

You sir, are an idiot.

On topic: A lot of these stories on here are very sad. I had an acquantance (Didn't know him too well, but talked to him sometimes) who took his own life, age 14. It was really hard to deal with because he was such a nice guy, so young and very talented.

Also alot of my friends used to say "Oh I'm depressed" as a fashion statement when it was over something ridiculous like "My mum didn't let me go out this Saturday" and I'd always have to try sympathize with them while I had enough on my own mind which was tonnes worse than their lame attempts at looking what they thought was "a cool thing to do."

I wish everyone here the best for the future. I've always looked up at my Grandfather, who has struggled with depression for many years and how he's slowly getting through it day by day.

Note: I think this is my first ever post in serious debates. :hugesmile:

Hey Kiz, I hope you are feeling ok today.

I just had my pill dose doubled this morning. May have to go through the dizzy **** again.

Oh, LemonJam. Welcome to the serious forum. we rock in here. Even if we are all mental.

That story breaks my heart. I can't imagine leaving my children. She must have been in a really dark place to do that. Fortunately I've never felt suicidal, no matter how bad things got. Hopefully I never will.

*hugs* to everyone in this thread going through stuff. I understand how hard it is and hope you all find your way.
