so I dont even know why the **** I'm posting this. probably to get some replies, thats the usual reason for posting.
so I'm diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia though on my driving license app it said major depression with psychotic symptoms. whatever.
But I think my symptoms reflect more accurately someone with bipolar disorder. **** knows which type, I'm not a friggin doctor
I swing between delusions of grandeur and heightened periods of energetic behaviour and depression where I realise that actually, I'm ****ing insignificant. sorry for the language.
and I'm slipping back into alcohol abuse and wanting to SI. and OD. and kill people.
what do you think? which diagnosis sounds right?
haha probs wont get many replies. oh well, you try hard, thats what counts
Obviously i'm not a doctor, but those are some of the symptoms of bipolar disorder so perhaps you should bring this up with your psychiatrist or whoever? Ask them why they diagnosed you with schizophrenia as opposed to bipolar, they might have a good reason.
Heartbreak, incarnate, I'm nothing if not your memories.
Hey. I haven't talked to you for ages. I'm sorry to hear you're going through sh*t atm.

yeah...thanks for the replies guys. I can't be ****ed with stupid doctors anymore...might as well live like there's nothing wrong ;)
and hey, everyone likes me more when I'm drunk anyway...they say I'm so much funnier and talkative.
Apologies for the late reply, but how are you doing now? What meds are you on? If I drink so much as half a pint of cider, the alcohol reacts with my meds and I fall into a deep sleep for about 12 hours.

I hate to sound boring and say the usual thing but obviously we cant say which diagnosis is which or diagnose at all. I know your looking for comfort and understanding which is absolutely fine, but diagnosis needs to be made by a psychiatrist.
If you don't get on with your current psych could you ask to be sent for a 2nd opinion? Perhaps your GP could advise you on this?
I know some doctors arn't good in the ways they do things but there are some decent ones out there, just a case of being patient and perservering till you find the right one.
That is beautifully and wisely said.

lol...you know things are ****ed up though, when you cant be happy without alcohol - I'm expecting this thread to get moved to the substance abuse forums...if you still wanna reply hahaha
I am glad that you haven't drunk for 4 days. The effects of not drinking will stay for you for a bit, but I think things will get better with time if you stop drinking.
