    Mods I know I can't look for self diagnosis and im not,im looking for personal experiences that will help me when I consult my gp. I'm trying to see which condition i most relate to


    Iv attempted suicide from the age of 14,probably 15 times!
    I can't keep a relationship,I suffer extreme mis trust and paranoia ,I flip like a light switch from a loving kind caring person to an absolute devil who I hate and others hate. I'm mainly like this with spouses though.i do not have friends,I can't seem to make any. Though on the outset i appear confident and full of self esteem.
    I get sad and cry a lot over the slightest of things then fits of rage where I scream break things and lash out. (I have slapped partners)I push and pull in relationships,I act like I don't care then when they leave me I go into sheer panic begging them back ,however if they do come back I push them away again and the cycle continues. This has meant my last ex got a protective order against me for repeatedly calling him(ashamed of my life) .i have an extreme fear of being ignored and it absolutely kills me,I sit staring at my phone waiting for a reply then bombard someone with texts when they don't respond.I always feel tremendous guilt and self loathe after these episodes but I can't seem to stop them.I hate being like this.i have a divorce behind me and multiple failed relationships. I can't keep losing people I love and im extremely lonely ,I need help

    Ask your GP to refer you to the Mental Health Services. You'll be assessed by members from a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) and they will diagnose you and suggest the best line of treatment.

    An MDT is made up of Consultant Psychiatrist and Junior Psychiatrists (medical doctors who specialise in mental illness), psychologists, psychiatric social workers, psychiatric nurses, psychiatric occupational therapists etc, many of whom will have additional qualifications in counselling/psychotherapy.

    If you go to the HSE, treatment is free of charge. If you have insurance, you can go to one of the private mental health providers or psychiatrists.
