WOW! what a committment. You obviously are not bipolar in any sense of the word, nor do you dissociate. You are in reality 24/7.
Personally, I can't pin point a moment in time that I became a believer, but here's a try. When I was 4 years old I thought my mommy was going to die. She and my dad were hundreds of miles away in a hospital and there was no communication between us. I didn't know if I would ever see her again. I distinctly remember laying in bed, hot summer night, face covered in sweat and tears, aunt sitting beside me running her fingers through my hair trying to comfort me, feeling the cool from the breeze coming in through the window against my wet hair, and I was comforted. I will never forget the spirit of peace that I felt. A child can recognize answers to prayers. I knew she would be all right from that moment on, and come home again. It was the "everything will be all right assurance" that can only come from a loving Father in Heaven. And, if it hadn't been so illuminating and powerful, I would not remember it to this day. My mother's healing was a pure miracle from God, and we knew it, and that experience made believers of everyone in our community, all my friends at church, it was one of those faith promoting experiences that got told repeatedly in every class I attended whenever the teacher would ask, "has anyone had an experience with healing by the priesthood they would like to relate?"
