Stuck.

[Maj22]

Hi peeps I'm a newbie here looking for some guidance, I have moved to a different city and I am not registered in a doctors. I know I am ill, I keep having manic episodes, I am learning how to drive and have my test on Wednesday but I don't want to pass, I'm scared if I do I might act upon my thoughts, the other day I just wanted to go to Cornwall. At the weekend I was visiting my family in Sheffield and I would have stayed there if I didn't have a train to catch. Today I am telling my boyfriend I want kids right now even tho I have previously said to everyone I don't. The other week I signed up to the Great North Run, I haven't ran in 7 years. one day I want to quit my job the next I love it. I still love my ex, I don't love my ex. I want to go travelling, I hate being by myself. I don't need anyone, I want friends. I don't know what to do to calm myself down. Help please?

Hi there Maj22

Welcome to our friendly Forum. Yes, I would say you need to register with a doctor and have an appointment asap. Try to stay calm and write down all the feelings that are making life scary for you. That way you can hand it over to the doctor if you don't feel able to tell them. They will advise you and may refer you too but whatever they do, it will be a huge step in the right direction, so take a pat on the back for confronting these feelings and seeking help.

While you are waiting for replies, have a read of the resources under pinned posts, you'll find some useful information there.

Take care

Hi thanks for replying. I've calmed down a little after a walk. When you say they might refer me what does this mean?

Hi again,

They may refer you to a therapist for example.
