Newbie fron the U.K.

Hi, I've just registered this evening and am totally new to the technology and the site, which is a little anxiety provoking to say the least!

I'm from the U.K. and have suffered with depression for as long as I can remember with no

clear diagnosis being given although endogenous has been mentioned.

I have tried discussing the possibility of being bi-polar with my G.P. but he brushes this off, probably because this would mean more of a drain on our health service. (Is this me being cynical or god forbid 'paranoid').

I have read a post by John Manamy regarding bi-polar/personality disorder and no reflection on John but I am now more confused than ever.

Will I ever know what is wrong with me or is this my life and I should just accept it?

Sorry for going on, I just wanted to say hi for now.
