Hi, how to get help? Ptsd, maybe bipolar???

[Skeletiddies]

Hi everyone, its been about 10 years since i last posted i think. 

Im 27f, suffering a lot at the moment with very big, very sudden mood changes. 

I am extremely stressed at the moment because of this, and other things, i feel like a lot of it is triggered due to some traumatic experiences growing up, but i havent always had these mood swings and its new and now destroying my relationship with my partner and family, i dont like who I am any more. I came so close to going to hospital today but i have no idea if they would or could even help me, I just feel so angry and lost and out of control and alien to myself. 

Can anyone help me understand the pricess of getting checked or assessed for things like bi polar? A few people close to me have suggested thats whats wrong with me. 

Im self employed and REALLY struggling financially so paying for a councillor or a head shrink at the moment is not really possible. Is there any way the public system can help me? 

Thank you for reading, love and light x

Hello Dear Skelitiddies,

Welcome back to the forums…

I am sorry that your struggling so much with your mental health….

I think it’s very important to make a long visit with your Dr. and talk open and honestly about what you’re going through….Your Dr, could help you with diagnosis or make a referral for you to see a psychiatrist….plus also set up a mental health care plan for you….which gives you 10 free consultations with a professional psychologist….

Please Skelitiddies, if you feel you need to visit the EM at your local hospital please do…or if your feeling unsafe call 000….also you can contact our trained counsellors on 1300 224 636 if you need to talk to someone…

My kindest thoughts with my care..

Grandy..
