The other month I went to get antidepressants so I can stop this feeling of constant sadness. Not only did I not get the pills but the lady said I may have to see a psychiatrist because I have signs of being bipolar. I just feel like things just get worse. I can't afford to see a psychiatrist. I'm just stuck. And I haven't stopped thinking about it since then.

      the reason they didn’t give u antidepressants maybe be because antidepressants can cause severe mania in bipolar people, it’s exactly how my bipolar surfaced. i hope you can get a proper diagnosis and medication, im sorry and i i understand being stuck like that :( wish u the best

      As someone who is bipolar, mixing meds when you don't have a definitive diagnosis can be really difficult because it can cause more problems. That may be why they didn't prescribe you anything. I'm sorry you are going through this love. If you feel comfortable, message me and I can show you signs of bipolar so you can have a better understanding and determine if that is what you have! 💕

      I am so sorry you had that experience. Did you see a general practitioner? I can't believe that they let you leave with no treatment! That is insane to me and I would've been so upset! Can you afford to get a second opinion? I wouldn't trust a doctor who met with me ONCE and started throwing around terms like bipolar.
