I have an appointment with my psychiatrist tomorrow after seeing my gp the other day and crying to her about how out of control things feel. When I saw the psychiatrist previously bipolar was mentioned but I shut it down by saying that I didn’t want medication and that I was fine. My life feels so chaotic and disastrous! I’ve definitely had periods of a higher mood which have been seen by the dr. In these periods I’ve spent a lot (sometimes over £1000 in a day or two), I discuss sex quite explicitly in front of family members and often try to initiate sex with my partner in front of others, I also don’t sleep very much in these periods. I’ve never held down a job for more than 6 months because I just get bored so quickly. When I have lower moods I cry a lot and think that my partner will leave me and I feel such guilt for everyone having to put up with me. I also spend so much time at my mums lying on the sofa and doing nothing. I was just wondering if anyone thinks that this does sound like bipolar? I’m really anxious about it and am terrified to see the psychiatrist tomorrow!
