My therapist has told me he’s pretty sure I am bipolar but will not diagnose me bc I’m not severe enough and he says I handle it well enough to not need medication but for the past 3 months it feels like it’s all getting worse so many of the symptoms are progressing and I don’t know what to do he just tells me I’ll be okay. I don’t know what to do

@kirawoj4743

I'm sorry to hear that the past 3 months have been so difficult for you. Therapists can have their own best practices for different issues and it sounds like your current therapist's style isn't meeting your expectations from the therapy.

It might be worth considering consulting a different therapist or two? I hope you find someone who is willing to work with you towards making things better soon.

Dear kirawoj I am sorry to hear you are in distress :(

If you are not satisfied with the feedback of your current therapist - I wouldn't hesitate to ask for another opinion from another professional. I understand that your therapist won't give you medication right away, as you need to give yourself some time to see how much you are capable of coping with your emotions without medication. Although, I can comprehend that you are suffering right now... I really hope you get the help you need <3
