Apparently Bipolar 1, most recent episode mixed -moderate. I know, I looked the code up after my last appointment. But it is basically what I have been told before. I HAVE had money problems, hypersexuality problems, suicidal problems, have had major manic episodes, but the last one was a year ago and I didn't enter the hospital that time - although my doctor wanted me to go check myself in "just for a few days". I think not. I plan on never going back into the hospital if I can help it. I feel like I don't have anything in common with otehr bipolar people - maybe I just need to give people a chance, which is why I am talking here - to know someone else with this problem. Maybe I do have things in common...
I guess I sometimes think I am "better" psychologically than everyone else, but on another level I know that is ludicrous, but I have a hard time putting myself in the sick category. I never say the words pdoc, meds, etc or anything that makes me identify with the sick community. I think on some level that makes me even sicker because I cant let go and suck it up and realize I DO identify with everyone here. I do have BP disorder, as much as I wish i didn't.
