How to get by until June 4 when I see the psychiatrist?!
Question: How to get by until June 4 when I see the psychiatrist!?
I was diagnose as bipolar 2 back in October of last year!. I was put on Lamictal and was on that until December when my insurance changed and my bipolar treatment was no longer covered due to them considering it a pre-existing condition!.
Now I am on my husband's insurance and have an appointment with a new psychiatrist on June 4!. But, I have been in a serious depressed state for the last week or so!. This is the soonest I can get in, but I have no idea how to last until then!. Any advice or suggestions!?
Also, will my new shrink want to diagnose me again!? Or will he believe me!? Also, will he just stick me back on the Lamictal!? Or if I tell him I want to try something different, will he listen!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
I have bipolar as well!. If you are in a really bad way at any time between now and July, just go to the ER!. It might be best to go before you are too bad so they can just give you some meds and send you home!. Not ideal, but it's something!. A better alternative would be to try to push the new pdoc's office to get you in sooner if possible!.
As to the new pdoc, it probably depends on her/him!. If s/he is decent, s/he will listen to you about past med reactions and what you are considering!. Hopefully, that's how it'll go!
PS - Omega 3 fish oil is effect for many!. Recent research shows it's as effective as 20mg of Prozac!. What you want is 1-2 grams of the EPA ingredient!. Trader Joes makes a pretty good brand!. The stuff helps me some and since I can't take antidepressants w/o going mixed or hypo, I think it's great!. Anyway, it's OTC and might be worth trying!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The bottom line here is that no drugs or anything anybody can tell you can resolve this like you, yourself can!.
Living in a "crap" state is like a double edged sword!. It cuts you up one side and cuts the ones that love you down the other!. You have way more power than you care to acknowledge!. women have most of the power to change the atmosphere in the household!."Act" like the person that you would want to come home to, the person you would want to be married to, and the mom you would like to be!. Don't deny your influence!. Practice what you would like to become!.
