I went to my GP today, she has wanted to put me back on prozac for a while but I didn't really want it, anyways she started asking questions if at times when I have been happier than usual, too happy, that kind of thing. I was actually honest with her, and relayed some of my more embarrassing life events from times when I've been 'up' and she did seem rather worried. She said she wants me to see a specialist consultant, in what I do not know?! and she wouldn't put me on prozac before then because it could make my situation worse.
After a few assessments, you start to realise what their line of thinking is - do you hear voices? do you think the people on tv are talking to/about you? is the psychosis, schizophrenia route, and the do you have extreme highs and lows? do you think you are invincible? etc, i'm guessing is the bipolar route.
So yeah, to be honest she seems to think a lot of my syptoms fit bipolar, which does worry me a bit as it is a lifelong illness, and has a high suicide rate and all that, but I guess I will just have to wait and see what this specialist says...if I ever get an appointment!
