Hi,
For as long as I can remember I've suffered from symtoms that fit in with a diagnosis of bipolar. I went to my doctor about depression about 2 years ago and I just got a whole lecture about eating well, avoiding alcohol and exercise.
Things are getting to the point where I just can't cope anymore - I'm at university and it's really impacting on my grades because I have periods of weeks at a time when I can't function.
I want to get some sort of help but I don't know how to really express how I feel to my doctor and I'm worried that I just won't get taken seriously like before.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks
