Help i dont know what to do anymore

Im posting this exactly as its coming into my head so forgive the confusedness of the writing - im thinking maybe the opinion of strangers may help me put things into perspective at the moment.

Okay where to start a few years ago i started to have these funny turns sometimes i would collapse for a couple of minutes and become really confused and disorientated and other times i would just have the confusion and disorientation.

At first i denyed this was happening to me - i dont get sick was the view i had on it so i just went out more and partyed harder and got on with things. Then it got to the point where i was having these funny turns 2 or more times a week. Everywhere in lectures, when i was going out etc. Eventually my mate made me go to a hospital where i was admitted for the night and they did further tests and they reconed i had epilepsy, a nurse followed me around where ever i went because i was so disorientated and confused at one point - however i didnt want to accept this and discharged myself from the hospital telling myself it was nothing and i would be okay (well by discharged i kinda mean just wondered off really) - i was really frightened and only got round to telling my parents not long ago about this. This happened a few months ago.

Ive seen another doctor since this happened and a test confirmed i may well have epilepsy however a further test told a different story and the doctor told me that 'he doesnt think' it is epilepsy now. What does this mean he doesnt think it is - its not exactly a clear cut answer!!! (or am i looking too much into this??)

Now ive been to see my doc at uni and hes given me some antidepressents and told me he thinks its happening cause im depressed - well the thing is i wasnt depressed a few months ago and it was still happening as often as now - but i cant really tell him this through crying when i go and see him so its no wonder he thinks im depressed. Now these antidepressents are making me sick and i have a constant headache and im having more funny turns which is making me more unhappy than b4.

I cant imagen what my life was like before all of this happened and i cant find a way out or a solution - i just wanna be like i was. I fact ive spoke to my best mate just and shes like i cant believe what u have been through in the last few years its unimagenable - its no wonder im depressed or whatever. Every doc ive been to see has said that they can sort it out for me and every doc has just let me down - i feel like ive run out of options.

When you collapse do you fit? And are you conscious?

Have you been tested for diabetes to ensure your blood-glucose level is normal?

book yourself in to see a doctor and try again.. with this sort of thing you have to tell the doctor what you would like them to do.. tell them all about it again.. and say 'its really scaring me and i want it sorted'... seriously...dont leave the doc's room until u get a sufficiant answer and plan sorted... i had to do the same thing with a different problem but one that doctors didnt really help me with at first... it seemed like they were just 'refering' me around eachother and too 'specialists' and back...

hope all goes well

Yep im gonna try that but to be honest its like im reaching the end of the road i dont know what 2 do anymore. I think im gonna go to the docs and demand an answer or at least an action plan. And if that fails i must be making it up obviously!!
