Bipolar Diagnosis ? Unhelpful Doctor Putting Me Off ?

My symtoms started a few years ago, but just put it through to being a normal teenager. recently things have got alot worse. I went to my doctor to get some help but as i have psoriasis thats all they wanted to know. Even though i was crying begging for help.. So i looked up my symptoms online and it suggest's bipolar. High as a kite, Manic Depression, Both at the same time. Embarrassing situations sexual urges spending over budget alcohol, to many to mention. Do i go back to this doctor and demend to see about my depression ? or mention this to him atall..
ALL I WANT IS SOME HELP OF THEM

See a different doctor! without a doubt! Some of them just dont get it and it saves a lot of heartache in the end just to move on that to try and persevere through a brick wall!
I saw 3 GP's before one actually helped me but once i found her i couldnt believe i'd bothered talking to the others.

To get a 'proper' diagnosis as it were you'll need to see a psychiatrist so the first thing you need to get him/her to do is refer you to the local mental health services,.
It might be useful for you to have a list of symptoms to take with you because i often find i get overwhelmed when faced with a medical professional and just clam up.

In the meantime try to stay safe, sleep plenty, eat well, try to cut back on the alcohol (the irony of how simple i make that sound is not lost on me, trust me!) and talk to people!

Good luck

lets get you more informed than u are at present
what is vitally important is to choose your healing route- for this problem ----- carefully from good information—that means knowing druggs/meds treatment for this can/will be damaging to your mind and body .drugs only mask the symptoms they do not cure.

This info well –it will save ---years of suffering = if you apply it ..

All treatment recommended by the doctors should be tested and approved and quite rightly so.
That makes sense
It costs millions of pounds to test and approve just one treatment.

Drug companies pay for most testing and will only and I mean only look at treatments, which show the promise of good deal of a profit, --they will actively dismiss any therapy which does not have profit potential— thus your doctor will only recommend therapies that have been tested with profit potential in them.

Despite The fact that some of these other therapies mentioned below do have overwhelming benefits some, which have saved massive amounts of suffering

Drugs are not the answer for any mental illness-- at best they mask symptoms

This is a fundamental principle grasp this fully –

Have you heard your local doctor recommend, Massage Spiritual healing, reiki Light therapy, Colour therapy, the violet ray therapy, Osteopathy, Electrical Frequency devices. Karma therapy and u wont because no one can put a patent on these powerful therapies .

For much more info/ detail and research behind this protocol
Go here http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/theholi…
Upon joining this group you will be sent a file giving the info –or go to the files section within the group and u will see it there

Print this all off save it and enact it and share it --- of course someone to help you get these therapies in your life is invaluable but do not be swayed by anyone trying for short cuts …
.
1,get someone to massage your back and legs at least 3 times a week use peanut oil or a mix of 50-50 olive and peanut oil.

2 use the violet ray machine an Edgar Cayce device google search this --- 3 times a week on the other days especially on the spine….we use it every day with very positive results

3.get a tent sleep out side 3times a week utilising earth energy - nature can help big time especially with how you feel how much energy you have

4 study and apply good nutrition— adele davis books =protein minerals =iron essential fatty acids omega 3 6 9 protein etc

5 ensure your thyroid is working well get it checked

6 ensure you do at least I hr per day some kind of voluntary work when you are able..the reasons you are ill , or poor or have allsorts of bad things happen to you is because of karma -----usually from past lives but some from this one –voluntary work will offset your mistakes--- how much it offsets well that is down to god and how much you do. Healing us is in direct proportion to the help we give others ie your healing comes with helping others achieve theirs so if people are doing very little in helping others ---they suffer more and longer...and if they are doing a lot they get well faster....so now you know what to do ,,and like a lot of us are already doing being of service.

7 be amongst people who are giving, friendly who have time for you who love you , choose your friends well . choose your company well.

8 be or get to a place which personally love or like

9 get and do some work which you like or love

10 ensure you do no acts which hurt or inflict on anyone –don’t want to add to your karma do we !!!

11 spiritual healing and reiki find good therapists who offer this service in your area many spiritualist churches which are all around offer this for free as part of their vocational offerings to the divine.

12 focus your mind - think good positive thoughts, laughter, look at comedy, play good uplifting music,

13 avoid at all costs exposure to violence, murders, suffering ,death ,tragedies, -feed upon good things uplifting things, things that feel like a breath of fresh air..

14 Positive affirmation- that’s right programme your self in the mirror , thoughts are things words are things actions are things , all have influence, few people realise these things can have an effect on themselves .

15 a detox ------ toxins can influence how you feel big time

16 hugs get plenty of them in your daily life you would be amazed at how people feel after a few decent hugs. find a big tree and hug that.
.
17 loads of exercise running walking climbing but something which you enjoy

18 rid yourselves of all aspartame laden foods and drink and many additives ==ensure water intake

a total cure however is tied up with karma so you can imagine just how important is the voluntary work. The more u do the better u will feel .

A regular doctor should nto be diagnosing Bipolar anyway.... make an appointment with a psychologist.......

Sure, you can. Of course, having a high sex drive is a normal part of being a teenager or young adult, as are embarassing situations and spending over budget, so you will need to go into detailed accounts of your symptoms with the doctor.

A bipolar diagnosis would have a serious consequence for your future...if would affect job prospects health insurance to name just 2. So don't rush to get a label...but do try to get some advice and support. there are self-help groups and counseling services who can help with depression and tons of stuff on the internet.

I believe the psoriasis is made worse by stress and in my case gets really bad with arthritis close behind. No wonder I feel so awful. Sometimes feeling rotten has a logical root and others it is purely psychological...I guess many tread the grey area in between.

Are you sure it's not just part of being a normal teenager? Write down all your symptoms then take it the Dr's so you don't forget anything. But part of being a teenager and young adult is drastic mood swings, feeling down, sexual urges and high sex drive etc...

Points from what you wrote in your question:
1. Psoriasis can be made worse or sparked by stress
2. Feeling sad and crying without knowing 'why' is one sign of depression
3. Feelings of extreme highs (euphoria) followed by depression sounds very much like bi-polar, although most sufferers wouldn't necessarily notice it in themselves.
4. Sexual urges are common in manic depressives, but may also be considered normal in teenagers due to changing increasing hormones.
5. you have every right to request your GP refers you for a mental health assessment. if it would make you feel better, take a parent or close friend or relative with you. The appointment may take a couple of weeks to come through, but they can't say no.

If you have ever felt so low that you have had feelings of not wanting to wake up in the mornings, or had any bad thoughts of hurting yourself in any way, you must tell your Doctor this, it's very important.

Finally, know that you are not alone. Many other people have the same or similar problems, and it is not your fault; neither are you a weirdo. Even people you wouldn't expect to have these problems (such as Doctors, nurses, teachers, lawyers, actors, celebrities) are treated for these types of illnesses very successfully. With the right help, from the right people, you WILL be absolutely fine, and I wish you a very speedy recovery. xx
