I’ve just been diagnosed with type 2 bipolar I didn’t even know this is a thing! Does anyone else have this?
I’m in a really bad place with my mood at the moment. I was doing ok after about February and then June was just a bad month. Started picking up towards the end of last week and then bam woke up Sunday in a dreadful mood again. Ruined my birthday yesterday as I didn’t want to do anything or see anyone so now I’ve upset my mum and dad and subsequently my sister. Kids missed out I just feel like I want to die but I’m also used to it as I’ve felt like this many, many times. I’ve made attempts a few times before but I don’t plan to right now as I write this so that’s a positive.
I’ve suffered with my mental health for years and years and years and got pushed into being diagnosed with post natal depression in 2010 by my then health visitor. It’s then kind of just rolled on and I’ve tried every medication going over the years it’s been a long and hard road and I feel exhausted. I’m currently on 45mg Mirtazapine but am going to be starting Lamotrigine (?) too. I’ll collect the prescription tomorrow. Anyone have any experience with that? Again I’ve never heard of it.
I’m under the care of the Community Mental Health Recovery Service (CMHRS) at the moment and thought I was only going in yesterday for a review of my meds (I almost didn’t bother going!) but then ended up seeing the Psychiatrist who just happened to be free as I was in with another doctor. She brought him into the room I feel quite bewildered if I’m honest. I knew there was more to it and I was misdiagnosed perhaps but now suddenly I have a diagnosis and am starting yet more medication. I’m feeling scared.
