Hi, I'm a regular user but I've changed my name.
I am really overwhelmed with life and think finally going on medication may help.
My partner and mum have made a suggestion they may think I'm bipolar which I would understand as my moods dip regularly then I can be ok again. I have outbursts, sometimes I don't know why.
My question is, I want to do this without the know of my family. I'd like to get better and happier confidentially. I'd like to know if me going to the GP about this, would they alert anyone as I have a toddler?
We have a very stable home, financially comfortable, both in good jobs etc but a lot of my issues stem from childhood.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense.
