Why is it so hard to get professional help?!
Question: I've finally worked up the guts to call for some help. I think I may have bipolar disorder. I must've called 20 different psychiatrists, half didn't answer (no answering service or machine) and the other half keep giving me different numbers to call, bouncing me all over the place.

My answer is what you already did! You called the emergency help line. That's what it's for.
Psychiatrists often just want to make money so if you don't have any, they don't have any time for you. There are others out there that really do want to help. One can never be grouped.
I'm happy you finally got an appt. Work with it and try what they tell you. If they suggest meds, try them, but be sure to let them know EXACTLY how you feel after you are on them even if it's good feelings. That's the only way they can determine the correct dosage for you. Then you will finally have relief!!
I know the feeling. Run down the street naked ....you'll get attention, a nice warm bed, a doctor, an evaluation drugs, all kinds of stuff.
Seriously keep trying if you really need help or call your insurance co.or a local crisis line.
im sorry it took so much work......i know how hard it is to work up the nerve to get urself help.....
How deep is the ocean? You can't tell by looking. Lakes and rivers can have similarly deceptive depth. We make assumptions based on ideas and expectations but the only real way to get a definitive answer, is to lower some kind of measuring device into the water. You can't see that you are being offered a lot of support at the moment. But there is a small amount of help that you can call on, yet you fear it will soon run out. Put it to the test. You will find there is a surprisingly large amount of strength behind you.
good day!
