Ask Anything Monday!

Ask Anything Monday!

Hi all,

Find this week's question here

Struggling to ask a question on the forums? We find members are sometimes hesitant. Sometimes it’s because they feel a bit nervous, or perhaps they’re newer members and not sure where to start.

We want to give you the opportunity to ask us anything without facing these potential barriers on Ask Anything Monday.

This is how it works:

  • Email your mental health related question to team@saneforums.org
  • Every Monday the team at SANE Forums will collate the questions that come into our inbox and post them in this thread. We will not attach your name or username to the question. This means that no one will know who has asked what questions.
  • Other moderators and members will answer the question for you throughout the week
  • A new set of questions will be posted the following Monday.

Anyone can send us through a question anonymously, so please, don’t hold back!

Please keep an eye on the thread, even if you haven’t submitted a question, you may be able to provide support or advice for another member.

Nik

with my now Good Support behind me

with writing in a safe place i know is checked by moderators who are all living breathing people with their own lives;

with my Psychotherapist behind me

i would have looked like someone on Bipolar
i forget i forgot that numb stress.
so i agree on medication starting and symtproms of bi polar

Re: Ask Anything Monday!

Where I got help, after not gettinfg help for man years is with a great Gp who rang the local Psych team in the local hospital.

He just spoke thoroughly to me for one hour and then told me what he felt.

It was spot on great @Shaz51

Your poor husband doesnt need someone to winge about his problems with him, he needs action, he needs you mt friend.

Re: Ask Anything Monday!

Howdy everyone! We are back with AAM after the long weekend last week 🙂

Thank you to @BamBam @Shaz51 @PeppiPatty @Peter_Pan78 and @Robertmelbourne for your responses to the last question.

This week's question is:

Is it bipolar?

I've felt like my mind has been bungee jumping. Sometimes I experience bursts of optimism and motivation and other times I become so anxious and depressed that I want to just to erase all evidence of my pathetic existence. Every once in a while I feel calm and content, but those moments are too few and far between.

How do I know if it's just normal up & down moods, or if it's something more serious?

In response to: Ask Anything Monday!

Re: Ask Anything Monday!

That's a good question. Bipolar can be a hard one to diagnose. If you are concerned definitely see a psychologist (most GP's I've found pretend to know things but are too proud to do the right thing and refer u to a specialist such as a psychologist) In the end though u know yourself better than anyone, so go with your gut feeling. Seeing a psychologist wouldn't hurt though. You don't have to agree with them if what they say doesn't feel right, it's just another point of view. Good luck 😊
