Depression/bipolar......fear.........i'm 2 afraid to go to the dr.?!


Question:

Depression/bipolar......f... 2 afraid to go to the dr.?

I've had depression for yrs I know. But now I'm begining to think it's more than that. My moods seem to come and go like hours do. I stay mostly depressed, and in between that time I go from easily frustrated, to very angry and don't want anything to do with anyone.(I have 2 small kids and a husband) It is on rare occasion i'm happy and when I am it's very wierd! I used to cry all of the time (now i hold it in till i'm alone)but when i did cry ppl would be constanly asking what was wrong and of course i always say nothing because i really don't know what to say....and still don't. the slightest thing can set me off into a bad mood. sometimes screaming at the one i love and thought of hurting my self and others race through my mind. When i was younger i'd cut my self, and there was one time i took a whole bottle of excedrine migrane (but all i did was puke for a week.) I really don't like trying to explain how i feel to anyone that is why i am here. bcause no one can't see me

if someone could help that would mean so much to me.
btw...i have tried to make appointments but i live in a small town and i'm afraid someone would see me and think i'm crazy. I'm also afaid they will tell me i have a lot more wrong with me than i think.
there is always something bad in my mind and i can't get it to stop...like an impending doom!
I would like to just run away and hide forever but i can't leave my family.even though i feel like i'm already gone sometimes.

please help me!!!

Answers:

I'm from a small town too. Go to a neighboring town. Someone very close to me is suffering from depression/bipolar and I'm having a hard time telling myself it has nothing to do with me. I can only imagine what your child might be thinking. Your family is hurting too and it can be treated with medicines. It may take some time figuring out the right dosage but once you get it figured out, you'll feel better. I'm wishing my loved one would see a doctor but it has to be a decision made by the one suffering from the condition. I think he's worried about people knowing too, but I'd be willing to drive where no one knows us if it'd help. Life's too short to spend it depressed.
