#5. That may very well be true. I have been depressed for as long as I can remember (not actively suicidal but I do think about it a lot). My sister suggested I see a doctor and see about getting on anti-depressents. She likened it to getting glasses for the first time. You don't actually realize how bad your problem is until you get something to correct it. So perhaps what I am feeling as mania are just...how everyone else feels normally.

And I will have to find a good doctor. The doctor my sister used to go to just likes prescribing pills for any old reason.

Just be careful with the antidepressants. If you are bipolar, there's a very high chance that antidepressants can send you into a severe mania. It's the one reason I'm absolutely sure about my diagnosis. I certainly don't mean to scare you off, but I was blindsided by that. Just keep yourself around good people, and keep your doctor's number handy.

Finding a good doctor is the most important thing, imo. Bipolar is very misdiagnosed (I'm not sure of the statistics, however). There's the 'bipolar!? No, you're just depressed and wrong!' crowd, and the 'You sometimes feel happy, and other times you feel sad? You must be bipolar. There is absolutely nothing else that could be going on!' people. And there's a lot of stereotyping and misinformation. My recommendation, if you can do it, go to your GP for a referral to an actual psychatrist/therapist/etc. If you have insurance, see if they have anyone listed with a specialty in mood disorders. Gps in general don't have a lot of prowess with mental or emotional disorders. Again, not to scare you off, but to make you better at helping yourself.
