Lost...where can i get help - Depression. *May Trigger*

[Chezio]

I am currently taking Sertraline tablets, though i was on Cetalapram (not sure of the spelling) before that, and i am also attending counciling twice a month.
The problem is my counciler seems to only listen or ask me what sort of day i've had, i'm getting no where with my depression and anxity. She doesnt give me coping stratligies, and i just find myself wanting to self-harm.
My fiance thinks that i have Bi-Polar but a GP said that they are reluctant to diagnose that anymore. I have extream mood swings and its tearing my family appart.
I need more intense help, but i dont know where to go or what is avaliable to me.
The tablets arent working, but i'm unsure what to do next.
I'm on a waiting list to see a phycyatryst but that will be at least 3 months. Is there a way i can speak to someone sooner.

If you're on the waiting list, keep calling either them if you can, or your GP and tell them you need it to speed up, eventually they might bump you up the list a bit. Why don't you suggest to the counselor that you'd like to speak about coping strategies etc. The counselor is there for you, you should be able to talk about whatever you want. The psychiatrist will probably diagnose you, it's hard to diagnose bi-polar, does your boyfriend have any experience with it?
