I would call my GP back and tell him/her that you need to see someone asap. If you have no joy and you really feel like you need some kind of assistance try a mental health service in your local area by calling or turning up. I feel really angry that with your family history nothing is being done for you earlier. Hang in there and take care.</P> Thu, 13 Jun 2013 14:22:09 GMT Hayley 2013-06-13T14:22:09Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/i-have-to-wait-2-months-to-get-help/m-p/54594#M1705 <P>I went to the GP today to get help with my mood. I have been experiencing a lot of ups and downs - I get really depressed and can be in the depths of despair and not feel like doing anything <SPAN style="background-color: #dfdede;">but then the next day I can feel really positive and feel like everything is going to work out. I have a strong family history of bipolar (parent, grandparent, great grandparent) so the doc referred me to a psychiatrist and doesn't want to put me on anything until I see him. She also wants me to see a psychologist but again wants to wait until I see the psychiatrist before I start that. But I can't get in for 2 months and honestly I don't want to wait that long to get answers and help. I have waited so long to reach out and I just want to feel better sooner rather than later. &nbsp;Any suggestions or advice? Thanks.</SPAN></P> Thu, 13 Jun 2013 04:50:41 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/i-have-to-wait-2-months-to-get-help/m-p/54594#M1705 LongHardRoad 2013-06-13T04:50:41Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/treatments-health-professionals/i-have-to-wait-2-months-to-get-help/m-p/54595#M1706 <P>Hi LongHardRoad,</P> <P>I really feel for you at this time this must be so full on and stressful for you.
