Re: [BAD_MD] Good Psychiatrists and Some Horrible Ones

Thanks for this but I am tempted now to think that
everyone has diagnosed me wrong... I just don't get
it.

No one... nobody... will accept that I have suffered
from things that I cannot control, I don't know how
loud I have to shout.

I started down the path to diagnosis becuse my
symptoms fitted with ADD or ADHD, but of couse that
isn't on the list in britain unless you are a 5 year
old boy, because we are so behind. So I have been put
into Cyclothemic/Bipolar and if what you are saying is
wright then I don't have it (BAD).

I get very annoyed that the Drs concentrate so much on
depresson, when there are highs to deal with too. And
I can't stand being treated like a naughty child by
the CBT man. BTW I never said I didn't want to do CBT,
I quite clearly said I did, but it is the attitde the
psychologist had.. he didn't even know what meds I was
on and he was treating me like I didn't have Cyclo. so
what am I to think?

I am on Epilim and so far the only side effects I have
had on that are weight gain and itchyness - I can live
with that. I was 'normal' for 5 weeks... it was
increadible... I realised just how ill my brain had
been for over 15 years. But it isn't working so well
now... so who knows... I will be back to squate one
pretty soon. I need an educational psychologist, not
this idiot... I don't want to moan on about my
family... stupid waste of time.

Thanks... x
