Confused

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 .

  • i don't know anything about autism and this is also my first time on this site, I was only diagnosed a few days ago ( i am 43 years old) . but I just wanted to say I am glad you haven't acted upon these thoughts and just wanted to say when these thoughts occur do consider reaching out to Samaritans (phonecall) or shout. (Text) both are really good and will just listen without judgment  in real time i have used them. this community here seems really full of good people too
