Why did the woman around 2 minutes make me feel so happy and safe like her vibes are amazing and i want her to be my therapist
I can make eye contact, but only if I do it in a lazer-focused, this-is-a-staring-contest-and-my-life-is-on-the-line kind of way. Otherwise my eyes just flit around awkwardly.
oh man the bipolar misdiagnoses and symptom overlap ones really got to me. i've been told by multiple psychiatrists that i was bipolar since i was 19 and even though i was being treated for it, along with anxiety and depression, it only made my functioning worse. made me lose faith in doctors but sadly also myself real quick. i was already 25 and struggling horribly when i started to suspect i was dealing with something else. i came upon adhd and it just fit, but not quite. i kept researching and found out about autism with comorbid adhd and suddenly everything became clear. but still i was told i was bipolar. i'm 28 now and have only just been able to get a referral from my psychiatrist to get a neurodevelopmental assessment for asd and adhd, and the whole process to get that was invalidating in itself.
it is SO easy to doubt myself and just give up. sometimes i wish i never found out or that i'd just stayed quiet, but i know i'd be worse off. knowing there's other people going through the same thing and actual professionals willing to share information and expertise to help people get the right support and accommodation they need really helps.
I’m 42. every time I try to talk to my doctor we have this argument. he will NOT let go of the bipolar. I try to tell him, my mind is racing ALL THE TIME!! yet i’m depressed 100% of the time. I have ADHD. He says no you have both. 🙄
@@OneSpicyDisaster i know i replied to this but my comment's gone. anyway, i wanted to say that sometimes a doctor only hears the symptoms like buzzwords instead of the patient's specific experience when they should listen to both. i also have depression from trying to keep up all these years, and layers of thoughts at any given time with their own background music, but it's different to the depressive episodes and racing thoughts of bipolar.
there's an article on additude mag about the "adhd and bipolar puzzle" that really helped me in figuring out the difference, i.e. racing thoughts being almost completely indiscernible and overwhelming in bipolar vs. the consistently hyperactive and scattered mind in adhd, the reason for a depressive episode in adhd can more easily be pinpointed while a classic depressive episode in bipolar may be harder to define and reason out, etc.
i make an effort to do my own research because i have trouble articulating myself in person. but no matter how much i try to educate and advocate for myself still i have to overcome a lot of resistance before i'm heard.
Im autistic and i've been questioning if i have bipolar for a while, now i think i probably don't and might just go through depression, which is contrasted by my baseline which is manic-looking. That's helpful to know.
Also, that one lady with the bead necklace and glasses is really nice and makes me comfy, i love her energy :)
I went to get tested for adhd but because I had crippling anxiety, I couldn’t explain how I experience (what I think is adhd,) he thought I had bipolar. Considering it was the first (and only) time I talked to him and it was only for 20 minutes, I’m trying to see another psychiatrist. But I don’t live in a big city so there’s not many people I can talk to about adhd. Hopefully I can figure it out.
Not sure if anyone can help, but I'm trying to understand this? I've had multiple evals (my therapist suggested it- I've not made progress in the years I've been seeing them, so they thought there must be something more going on). I revisited the results of the last one (I've had about 3 now), and we realized I was only a point off being diagnosed on the spectrum. Their reasoning was I scored 0 in communication issues, while they also had a list of communication issues they noticed with me written in the assessment. So I'm really confused, because it feels contradictory, you know? How can they list a bunch of communication struggles they see and then say that I have 0? It's really bothering me. When I went in for the results they told me "not making eye contact does not make you autistic" and I "should be grateful it's just anxiety, because anxiety can be cured", and it's really messed with my head. I feel like I'm faking everything, my therapist says I'm not, but idk if I should believe her or the psychologists. Sorry if this is dumb.
@@NellPell_ they used the ADOS(?) test for me, the eval says I have no issue with communication because I can talk and gesture, I don't have stereotyped speech and I can understand the expressions/emotions in a picture book....lol. In their observations they said I could not seem to initiate verbal communication, struggled with keeping focus, struggled to speak at times, did not make eye contact, had issues following when multiple people talked, and when it was a topic I seemed interested in I seemed to "control the conversation". Idk what my deal is. I guess it would make sense if all of that doesn't count in their testing, that would be why I got the results I did. I wish I knew what I was dealing with. Thanks for replying, I appreciate it!
@@NellPell_ It means a lot to me to hear that, I feel like I'm going crazy with all the mixed answers I get from professionals
@@NellPell_ I put in a request to see a new psychologist in my area, but they're booked atm so I'm waiting to hear back, but I'm hoping they'll be able to get back soon!
@@NellPell_ Thank you!
