I'm a lonely 18 year old guy and a senior in high school and I know I'm depressed. In fact my sophomore year they were pretty sure I had bipolar 2. They tried me on this med called Trileptol and it seemed to help a lot except I think I needed an antidepressant with it.
Anyway I'm sure I have bipolar. My moods shift so much, sometimes in as little as 30 minutes. They get so far down to the point I probably have suicide cross my mind once every day that it happens. But then later on I'll be happy as a lark and carefree. I feel as if nothing can cause me harm and I can do anything I put my mind to and I talk like crazy constantly changing topics. But like I said I'm pretty sure I have it and so was the mental health counselor I was seeing sophomore year. Anyway I am highly uncomfortable talking with my parents about it again. They think I'm just peachy but that's just because I'm good at hiding it. Also I just feel like a let down to my dad. I feel like he has a freak of a sun that can't be happy. Its nothing anybody has done I just feel this way. My moods shift several times during the day and even my friends notice it. I think its taking a toll on my grades too cause I'm failing two classes. So I know I have my own confidentiality because I'm 18 but would I still be able to use medicaid(or title 19 as they call it in wyoming) without my dad? I really wanna seek help but I don't have the money to pay for it outta pocket. I've been trying to control it but I can't and I'm fed up with feeling this way. It makes me antisocial and takes tolls on friendships. Please can someone help? thanks!
Well I have it through my parents. Like us kids are on it.
Also if I pay through medicaid then will my parents receive like a notice that I went to the doctor and then picked up a prescription?
