smileyK Report post Posted February 5, 2013 I hoping lady going through assessment will be one I know really well -on personal level (known her for 4-5 years) which help calm my nerves -anxiety down helps dampen it abit easier I am taking mood diary nurse said come in handy to see for myself I think! But don't know professionals never put information across on an "easy level" but hoping sharing thid information connected/linked to mood diary will finally/eventually show up something other than "depression" other senior manager spoke to from MIND said from what I've explained /described sounds highly possible for bi-polar!

Special_talent123 Report post Posted February 6, 2013 Good luck. What my friends thought I was bipolar turns out it wasn't just an overlap. Good luck though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smileyK Report post Posted February 19, 2013 I'm not looking forward to this as everything so far I've put "everything" my hopes on get dashed (let down and disappointed) with every mental health services as just "listening worker" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
