I have to get help

[cac]

My sleep paterns are messed up, Im in and out of moods, Im not to the point where I cant control it. The next minute Im in a great mood and cant figure out why I felt the way I did. I dont like feeling this way one bit. Im phobic of large groups and even some single people. Basically Ive just noticed more frustration than usuall, thats all. The sad problem I have found is trying to find a good doctor who will take my medicare and medicade. I think there should be a law requireing doctors to participate with these insurances for the poor people. It just plain sucks the way the system is.

There was a mix up I found a doctor and have an apointment. The doctor thought I had an HMO medicade, I have straight medicade so im covered 100 percent. I feel bad for anybody who has an HMO medicade because they only cover half.

I never trust state doctors, I have had nothing but bad luck with them. The state doesnt pay good enough money for decent more experienced and well qualified doctors. Atleaste this seems to be a problem in my state speaking only from my experience, your state may be different.

how about asking the county crisis or your med care provider to refer you to a doctor/s?

I don't know where you live but most counties have mental health clinics for people in just your situation. Check with your county health department and they can point you in the right direction.

Praying for you,

Dear Cac


Either you or someone close to you call the police dept or sheriff's dept. and tell them your dangerous and talking about hurting someone or yourself.



SOUNDS LIKE YOU MAY REALLY BE! ( so it isn't no made up story )


Then have someone file committal papers on you.


Then WA-LA, a complete work up with meds, doctors, 3 squares a day, clean sheets and a lot of laughs with some of those folks in there. I never laughed so hard!!



It's called the GOVERNMENT CREDIT CARD. UNLIMITED CREDIT.


WE BIPOLAR FOLKS CAN BE REAL CRAZY FOLKS.



JUST REMEMBER:




XEven though you can't see Him, GOD is there!O

Im not out of control, Im not where I cant control myself. Im sorry if I sounded that way, I take depakote right now. Im not a threat to anybody. I have just noticed lately more of moderate mood swings but not to the point of being out of control, I have found a psychiatrist and have an apointment.In my state I never trust state hired psychiatrist's. Everyone i have ever had has been no good. The first time i saw a state psychiatrist was in a mental hospital and they had me three times over the legal limit on drugs and there was one person who od'ed. The second one had my medications all messed up and was giving me not only the wrong medication but a narcodic. I found a good one that will work with me, i have talked to them on the phone and have an apointment soon.

Something else I have to is called (IED) Intermittent explosive disorder, this can be a real bad one if I get out of control. My diagnoses was something like Bipolar disorder mixed with Intermittent explosive disorder.

The office I am going to now, is where the doctor is who diagnosed me back in 1999, she and her partners are great, they are the only ones in my life who have been able to diagnose me properly. My medications may just need some adjustment and being able to talk to somebody always helps, even being on here has made a great change in the way I feel, I always feel better after talking on this site.

I would like to clarify that I am not to the point of hurting somebody or myself, Im just noticing some more moderate mood changes that tell me to see a psychiatrist before it gets out of hand. Gods blessing be apon all of you.

I got to a place called Pathways. It's a good place if you have insurance or don't. They base payments on your income. I've been to three different ones due to moving, and I've learned that you may not always get a good doc, or you may not always get a good therapist, but it is worth trying. If you have one around you, I would suggest giving it a try. If you can't afford meds, they give you enough samples out of the office to supply a prescription. Since you have a medical card, you should have no problem getting the help and meds that you need. You're in my prayers!! God Bless!

Hi angelkiss, I did find a doctor and have an apointment. My insurance does cover 100 percent. I thought it didn't but I was wrong, I have both medicade and medicare and I dont have an hmo so Im all set. I dont like these feeling's that but Im sure none of us do. Thankyou for your suport it is greatly apreciated. It's good to have careing online friends like I have here. I will keep everybody posted on what I find out when I go at the end of this month, God bless all of you.

HI CAC~
No, you sure aren't out of control. If that were so someone else would have to help you and you are pretty awareofwhats going on! my sleep patterns are so wacky, I've always had a sleep problem but its worse and i'm up three to four days and down for a few hours, up and down. I don't like the way I feel either and many times I get desperate and off to the doctor I go. I also have sleep apnea, and I can sleep with the air mask on because my insomnia keeps me from falling asleep.....go figure so hang in there until your appointment, mine is on may 5. I have a.d.d too. but I'm not doing to bad considering......
let me know how your visit turns out O.K
take care, DEB~

Yeah, Im not out of control now, I remember when I got out of control back in 1999, my parents had to get me to the hospital, all I wanted to do was stay in bed and not move or talk to anybody, severely depressed.When someone is truely out of control with these problems they normally cant see it and wont admit to it. It's so strange how the illness can take over a persons mind if medications arent working right.

Yes God does answer prayers, He answered a big one when I found this site, Praise be to the Lord.
