Confused

Purplemoon2008

I've suffered with suicidal thoughts since I was a teenager I'm in my 50s now. Back then I belive I had pmdd as the thoughts Coincided with My cycle. However in my late teens I was diagnosed with eupd. In the end I asked my gp for a hormonal pill to stop my monthly cycles which helped a bit. However in my 20s I was diagnosed with bipolar. I'm on so much medication yet I'm still getting suicidal thoughts. I was also told by a health practitioner that he thought I had autism!  I have asked my doctor what he thinks of my diagnoses and all he said was that he couldn't speculate. I seem to get triggered by stress and have awful melt downs and want to die. I just feel like there's no hope anymore and that nobody has any answers so I'm just left in the mental health system and they don't know what's wrong with me .

  • One of the problems with the way our health service is structured is that it isn't holistic, you see different people for different issues, often what your GP, as the gatekeeper feels is the best answer, so you get diagnosed with Bipolar and thats it nothing else wrong with you, of course you can't have gynae problems too. I can never understand why hormone disruption caused by the menstral cycle isn't treated by an endrocrinologist?

    It sounds to me like you need to go back to the begining and get totally rediagnosed, if your'e on so much medication and it's not working then it needs changing. Can you ask to speak to your consultant and ask for a serious review, tell them what you've told us, if you're still not happy, then ask for a second opinion.

    I do understand the menstral roller-coaster all to well, menopause was such a relief.
