I've been to the doctors, i've previously had councelling for issues around family anxiety paranoia social connections, self harm, this was when I was 13 I am now 17 feeling worse than ever and everytime I put myself out there to ask for help I get the same reactions. a doctor even had the nerve to say to me "dont worry it's probably hormones, give a few days and you'll be fine" and let me walk out of the surgery crying my eyes out after telling her how I felt and showing her that i've self harmed. I only went to the doctors because I dont want to push every one away and my family dont know how to cope with it and just ignore it most of the times. I've been put on a three months waiting list for councelling as I wasn't considered to be as bad as I used to be a few years back. I get angry and emotional because I cant pin point why i'm so upset or why i get so angry, and when I ask for help no one takes me seriously. I want to get over it so I can be motivated organised and stop feeling like i'm making it up in my head. I don't know where to turn. I've googled Beng Bi polar and having depression for hours and done all sorts of online councelling questionaires to see what out comes I would have, most of them turn out to be severe depression and my dad even said I was Bi polar with out me even knowing about it. If its so apparent to him and everything I do points to one direction how do the doctors not help me or do anything for me. atleast experiement with some medication as it seems everyone else I know whos complained about similar issues has been put on it, i just get the free leflets to an over the phone help centre has anyone else had this problem or have any advice im open to all ears. I want my ambition for life back. x

I know the feeling I was diagnosed with depression 8 months ago and I have only just recieved counselling. I can relate to everything you have written self-harming, not knowing why you feel like this and wanting your ambition back! I have felt so lonely for 8 months like no-one is there and no-one even understabnds how im feeling and now because I havent been my normal self all my friends have left me and now totally ignore me! I just dont know which way to turn to be happy again....! Im afraid i dont have any advice though as no-one has given me any sorry, i really hope your ok :) xxx
