Getting Help ... A Doctor Story

I just finished reading your blog, I must say that i thought it had some really good points it sounded so much like me and my doctor i myself had such a long battle with my doctors. I totaly agree that some times you do need to say exactly what you are thinking and say exactly how you feel. We should never be ashamed of who we are or what we have.

It took you along time to get where you are today but you come out on top thats something to be proud of, or that you went through you are still here today so the bp lost.

Best wishes

unfortantly there are alot of people out there who are ignorant about mental illness just because their normal. But then i look at it like this who wants to be normal?. Normal is boaring. Besides normal is a setting on a washing machine.

Take care

Hi, Louie,

I have had a couple of pdocs, that, I have had to let go of because of them either overmedicating me, or ordering me to take meds, that, didn't work.

I fortunately have found a great pdoc, this time. I have also tried almost every med they have. I am very picky. I am also dual diagnosed, so, I have to be careful with what, I let them give me.  I relate to how you are experiencing this whole thing of being bipolar, and dealing with friends,that can't relate. I have been told that my symptoms are alcaholism. I wasn't working the steps, or it was self pity.

This disorder, can be decieving, and the process of getting help can be very frustrating.

You are right where you are supposed to be. We are not door mats, we don't have to grovel before anyone. Never apologize for your spirituality.

God bless, and it will get better.
