somethings wrong but idk

hey i think u should speak to ur gp urgently

thank you all for the advice and comments in general🤍. I ended up making a GP appointment, and i told them how i matched a lot of the symptoms to bipolar. Long story short I was told that people with bipolar aren’t aware of their actions much and what i’m feeling is normal for teenagers i guess (the GP was pretty nice about it). I guess i’ll just have to find my own way since there’s no way i’m speaking to my school or my family about it. Guess it gets worse before it gets better (hopefully anyways)

your doctor is insane. people with bipolar 'aren't aware of their actions much?' that's utter bull. i don't think your symptoms suggest your bipolar.
but your doctor sounds pretty dismissive. maybe try talking to your school counselor. or a different doctor

oh, i didn’t even realize that. Man idk, can’t lie i feel embarrassed and I don’t wanna go back to the GP, like this is my second time bringing it up and it was to a different doctor. Apparently the school counsellor is sh*t as well accor
ding to my friends who do go to them. Sad because i’m the biggest advocate for others getting mental health help and I can’t even do it myself lol. Oh well, ill just wait till i’m 18 so then i perhaps could go to a private therapist

gp doctors can be pretty useless when it comes to mental health
once you're 18 you can refer yourself if you still feel like you could benefit from therapy https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-psychological-therapies-service/

somethings wrong with me mentally, but idk what it is. I’m scared to go to my GP because what if they don’t take me serious?

I feel like this issue comes and goes and it’s frustrating. Idk how to word my thoughts and i just feel heavy a lot. But then at the same time i keep thinking “maybe i’m faking it, maybe this is normal, maybe i’m making excuses for myself”

idk what to do. Like i don’t think it’s depression but maybe it is??? Idk man there’s like one week where i’m happy with life and then the rest of the weeks is just me being pessimistic and just negative and so many other negative things.

Please speak to your GP - They will take you seriously, you need to do this for your health and for the baby.
Then you can decide what to do next...

baby? what baby? i’m not pregnant lol

Not disregarding what you GP has said about hormones and that they could be what's causing the issues for you, but the bit about people with bipolar not being aware of their actions much is definitely not true because people with bipolar absolutely can have insight, especially when they have had it for a while and learn to recognise the signs that things are slipping. If you feel like you are still struggling with stuff and your GP hasn't offered you any help (and you don't need to have a formal diagnosis to have struggles with your mental health), you could maybe try speaking to your school counsellor? If you don't feel comfortable with that idea, Childline may be a good way to get stuff off your chest and to get some support anonymously. Best of luck with everything, and hope that you are doing OK.

OOPS
so sorry there was another post of some who got pregnant and I thought it was from her.
Please ignore that.
But either excluding that pregnant part.
Going to the GP (is it about mental health) - they will take you seriously - so don't worry.

ah i see haha
they didn’t sadly lol, kinda just shut down the idea of me being bipolar and said it’s common to go through what i’m going through at this age, and i should try speak to those around me and a school counsellor. They said “if it persists and is a problem again please book another appointment” but I don’t think I will lol, I booked an appointment in the first place BECAUSE it was a problem and I didn’t want to speak to those around me bc i don’t want to be perceived differently, and the dynamic of my relationships means i will be treated differently.
sorry for my dump just had to get it out there. I now realise how hard it is to get help. When i was younger i said “as soon as i’m nearly 18 i’m gonna seek help and get a therapist” but literally realised how humiliating it is when you get turned down. Everyone should be entitled to a therapist depressed or not but guess the NHS doesn’t have enough money for that

Im 15 right now and my mental health is very unstable.
I don't think I would be able to go to GP or any counselling and the main reason is you can't help if you haven't experienced it.
