help Dr Bob

Posted by Denise on August 4, 1998, at 10:27:52

A friend of mine (JEAN) sent me here. I hope that I can find some answers. I am a 21 yr old female with one kid. I have been depressed most of my life. All I can remember. My problem is my doc wont ever give me a diagnois as to what is wrong with me. He is like secretive about his actions. He is a good doc I think, but he makes me feel very uncomfortable.
I think I may be bipolar but I havent experienced mania unless it can be catogorized by something other than happiness and grandios thoughts about me. I dont do that.
He put me on perphenazine 2 mg 4 times a day to knock the chip off my shoulder. Whatever that means. I have this thought that everyone is talking and laughing at me and so he thinks an ANTIPSYCHOTIC will help???
I tried killing myself a few months ago and since have gotten even more depressed. I wish he would start me on an antidepressant. He says hes going to when I go back. I think he is gonna take me off of the perphenazine then. What is this medication used for when only used for a short peiod of time (about 10 weeks)??? Why not continue it?
Is there a surefire way to find out if one is Bipolar. I have read up on it and think I could be. I jump from happy to peed off in no time flat and then I get over it in no time flat usually. I never know what mood to be in. I cannot stand this.
I want to know what is wrong with me. Could be I just have a really crappy life I dunno.
Please help E mail me please. I hope I dont forget how to return to this page.
I w2an more thatn anything to have a friend. I have not one friend. this is no exaggertion. I hjave no one to talk wioth but my boyfrind and he cannot understand any of my feelings and gets angry about it too easily.
I feel like a little kid. I am a manager at a fast food restaurant and this is about the only thing good in my life other than my son. I even hate my job now and want to quit but know I cant.
Please help me. I am sorry for the long post, but wanted to explain. There are a lot more symptoms and stuff I have but I dont know where to begin. Thanks for your time and zthanks Jean for sending me here
