I am twenty years old. I am male. I am
terrified.
I have, since I was eleven, been diagnosed
with b.p.d., bipolar disorder, O.d.d, a
few social anxiety disorders, and of
course, a.d.h.d. Now, having spent time
away from therapy, I think something major
is going on. I have these thoughts
sometimes... About things, stupid things,
and my brain will be thinking about them
like they are real... Like things I once
read in a book or saw on tv or watched or
heard... Its getting to the point where I
am paralyzed with fear at the outside
world, and soon enough I will be homeless.
I have an apathetic attitude toward life
that makes me miserable. I try to succeed
but I rationalize to cope with the fear
and thoughts. I am disorganized beyond
belief and I think I'm going crazy. I have
a cousin who is paranoid schizophrenic
already and I just don't know any more
waht to think about myself. My moods are
haywire, and I'm having trouble putting
two and two together day to day... I guess
my true question is then... Is there some
way an uninsured twenty year old young
man... can get a psych eval done...
please... should I even get one?

Do you have any mental health centres
around where you are. They should have
some info that could helpyou find some
help. you could even just give them a
call. I'm from Australia and here we have
doctors surgerys that have a psychiatrist
on board with them and to see them and get
an evaluation it's free. You could go and
talk with your doctor about this and see
what options he/she may give you. He'll
probably recognise what is wrong with you
anyway. The other thing we have here is
health care cards, meaning you don't need
insurance to get meds if you aren't
working. Is that similar to what you have
where your from. Or if you're really
worried you could admit yourself to
hospital. thats what i did when i had a
psychotic episode. That way that can give
you meds then and there to calm you down a
whole lot. Trust me you'll feel a whole
lot better and you don't want to let this
get outof control because it can get
really ugly. Go get yourself sorted out
a.s.ap.
