Diagnosed

[Lymie]

I went in to see my doctor for the first time today, and he diagnosed me as bi-polar with depression and ajustment disorder. I don't know what the point of this post is, I just wanted to tell people who might understand how I feel. I've told my friends and I'm planning on telling my co-workers but I don't think I can tell my mother. She didn't understand my depression/self harm and she wont understand this.

I don't want to deal with this, but I don't like the other options either. I also feel a little bit like I've gotten what I wanted and that I'm some how lying even though I'm not.

Enough of my babble. Thanks for reading.

I understand.
My parents were the last to know of my diagnosis. [and they don't know the PTSD side, at all, because that could make them feel really bad...]

It was the first trip to Drs? Can they diagnose by seeing you just the once?

I understand how you feel about telling people. My parents were the last to know about my problems. Even now I tell them last when I not in good place.

maybe you could take your parents to the doctors with you? or maybe just your mom. that might help them understand. Because they should really know.
do you live with them?
if you do you should tell them.
