I know that I'm definitely not bipolar I or bipolar II even... but perhaps more bipolar NOS/spectrum kind of thing, if you know about that. Yes I have a psychiatrist and I've been in therapy for a long time. He agrees that I have some bipolar symptoms, but hasn't actually diagnosed me as such, probably because I don't have clear episodes of mania. I just tend to get very agitated and irritable, have suicidal and homicidal thoughts, talk fast and have racing thoughts sometimes, feel hyper or activated, and of course the sleep problems I mentioned.

These things have gotten worse in the last few years. Also, antidepressants don't seem to help me, but mood stabilizers do--- not that that's diagnostic, but it's an interesting problem to me.

Anyways, I don't know. In some ways it really doesn't matter, except for my own peace of mind. I just hate the ambiguity of diagnoses.
