Hello juno,what scares you?

Every other time I've seen the psychiatrist, my CPN has been there. It even says that in my care plan. But my CPN is off sick, and so she won't be there. So I've got to go and see this new person whom I've never met before and tell them all about me.

And I've been really bad recently. I know I'm not going to make the best of impressions, and if they say anything I don't agree with I know I'll just agree rather than try and state my objections. I'm sure they're going to put me on some medication, and I wrote about why I don't want that in an earlier post.
And I'm really scared that they're gonna want to admit me, and I won't have my CPN there to fight for me.

:hello: RBK,

My appointment went well with specialist yesterday thanks,Got a long hard journey to recovery now after being low for 2 weeks but with my parents support I will get there and be the happy self that I usually am on here as well.I am so good at hiding how I really feel from people,its only when its just me again and totally by myself that I feel low,whereas if I keep busy I dont have to dwell on stuff and that I get so low down in my mood.I am also Bipolar as well btw something I havent said before but at least I feel better now thats out.

love and light,

Hi Katie:hello: Sorry i missed you last night was checking my auctions on Ebay,i had five items finishing so have to post them all this morning,it can be hard work but the extra cash comes in handy.I am fine,thanks for asking.My mood has been good for a while now but then i am always better in the summer.To be honest i think i might have a form of bi-plolar because i seem to swing from being "high" to really down,obviously i prefer the high but dread the lows coming back as i know they can come from nowhere.
How are you today?the sun is shining here,any plans?don't think we have chatted before but i enjoy reading your posts as others have said you make me smile.

:hello: Gem,

I am fine today thanks off to my parents as usual watching my new dvd the Last Mimzy later,cant wait,just so glad it finally arrived its sunny here in Devon as well I get high moods,then my mood goes low like in blips and my mood yoyos as in they go up and down hence the Bipolar,I so hate the low feelings I get and I am forever saying to my parents I dont feel well as well and they try and work out what I really mean as do you mean you are tired and I go yes,Sometimes when I say I am not well to them I cant tell them what I really mean and that so frustrates me inside.I told them the other day I wish I didnt have the condition Bipolar.

Hi hun

how r u?

Yes, i know. I wont be stupid, its just soo frustrating, doesnt seem that bigger thing if i want to come off them, then i should be allowed to. I am seeing someone atm, bit like a life coach, she is very helpful, and has seen a change in me, i am more positive, more in control and more optimistic, surely thats a good thing, i dont want to rely on meds anymore. But as i say gp on friday, so will discuss with him

It is down to the meds hun, yeah, i have researched the side effects and two which were mentioned is weight and tierdness, which is what i am experiencing. I prob do eat a little more than i did, but i never did eat alot.
But now i am getting soo paranoid about my weight to the point i am skipping meals because i dont want to put weight on.

I mentioned the weight gain to the doctor yes, tbh its kinda noticeable, to the point my mum is now making horrible comments about my weight, which obviously isnt helping. The doctor just said to see a dietician, but this is all soo frustrating for me, i used to be soo energetic, atheletic and all, now i just dont feel the same me anymore.

I did go on a bike ride today, down the mountain then along the valley then up the mountain again, and i was exhausted by the time i got back home again, i feel soo hopeless and pathetic, its just not me

hope your well hun

take care

Hi Rosie,Glad you are finding the lady you talk to helpful,one of the problems with mental illness is finding someone to talk to that you can relate to and seems to understand you,i think that is half the battle.I have noticed in your posts that you can have a positive atitude but there are still days when you get really down,are you sure you could cope without meds if you get down again? Maybe thinking you could is partly down to the meds?
I am suprised at your mum making nasty comments it is the last thing you need.Anyway see what the Doctor says on Friday maybe he will at least reduce the dosage.Well done for the bike ride
it must have been an effort.Not a good idea to skip meals,i know you don't want to put on weight but skipping meals could add to the tiredness just eat healthily and you should not put weight on.
take care x
