I wouldn't let them put me in patient I refused. No one person is the same you know. Just because I was diagnosed differently from you doesn't mean I don't suffer from it. Or that my doc and I got it wrong. Sheesh lighten up. I'm different from you and I have problems too. We all do. And we aren't all going to be diagnosed the same way. Doesn't mean we don't have it. Sorry I don't fit your golden standard

Its not a standard, its diagnositic criteria, which you cannot see from one meeting.

I was in a mental hospital...... Going every day... 7 days a week all day. For over 3 months. He only saw me once in a while in there. I'm the one after all the therapy and all the educational classes and learning more about myself mentioned it to him. After medication changes had failed. Besides you don't me. For you to say "the way you were diagnosed can't be right because that kind of way is just wrong" it's how it gets misused and such is bogus. Who are you to tell me whether I have it or not. That's being just as much like the nay Sayers in your life that you can't stand. Smh. I know the crap I'm going through. It's screwing my life to hell right now so I'd appreciate it if you'd keep your judgement bout how you feel on people's diagnosis being real or not to yourself. A lot of people struggle with being diagnosed in the first place. It doesn't make it any easier to have someone questioning then on whether or not they are even legit now

You are not understanding what I am writting. Just going on rants about why you have it. I didn't challenge YOU. I challenge med happy overdiagnostic GPs

Some of you get it, but once again, the ones who dont, make it about them and speak the loudest.

I dont care about your story. I do care about the abundance of bipolar people who function without any treatment, and make those who suffer feel like they are not trying hard enough.

Meds helped me to start coping with my symptoms.

Before that anything i tried did not help.

I think meds are not actually curing me but giving me ability to see what's going on and handle the situation much better

I'm sorry to have come off crass last night... I was having a really bad evening after therapy. And this very topic is one of things I'm having one of the hardest things about. So it hits a rather sensitive spot. My apologies if I offended anyone.

If you are so worried about the over diagnosis of it. Take it up with places like NIMH and NAMI. They have a voice, bigger than us.

It's kind of ironic, since for many years I knew very little about bipolar disorder, when now I'm almost certain I have it (bipolar II, that is). I was actually diagnosed with both ADHD and clinical depression when I was 13. I was on both antidepressants and ritalin, neither of which helped..in fact they worsened my mood fluctuations. My online counselor told me she strongly believes I'm bipolar, and suggests I see a face-to-face therapist to get on proper meds. In the end, people can call the disorder whatever they want, but it's been making my life hell for years and I just want to feel consistent for once!
