Hi Broken Hearted,
I have been recently diagnosed bi-polar also, Wow, it's real strange to me, because I have always been diagnosed as depression/anxiety, but once when I was younger, I was also diagnosed as manic depressant(bi-polar). Whats so weird is how well everything Jenna described about bi-polar symptoms "fit" me.. That was suprising. It was had for me to accept that one. Not sure why?? But, thanks Jenna, good info..
My first reaction to your post was, so what?? I have both had and seen doctors give out their number to people incase of an emergency. Not for sexual reasons, Are thye having sex? Did she say that? If she didn' maybe you should ask her? That way if you don't know, you will. You could report him, if you chose to do that.
You're friend really does have a true mental illness. The symptoms are not good, they can cause people to do very, very strange things,
BUT, having said that, she also needs to be responsible for her mental health, she can not do the things you said and continue to blame her illenss.
Is she dually diagnosed? Does she have an addiction problem as well? Maybe she has a sexual addiction, in that case, maybe she should be getting help for that, there is help out there.
Does she lie ever? Is it possible that maybe the doctor gave the phone # to her for an emergency, and she either took it the wrong way, or she lied to you?
I guess there's alot of questions..
I hope your friend finds the help she needs, Sounds to me like she needs to do that. I pray she does. If the doctor is doing anything unethical, then he
SHOULD be reported, as to not take advantage of a mentally ill patient. Maybe he has a history of this, that;s why I would want to find out,,,
You sound like a wonderfully caring friend,
Love, Becky
