lonegael- I hope I didn't give you ar anyone else the impression that what we are talking about here is bipolars being immature or stupid. I know that I am not stupid. I do feel that way when I say inappropriate things & when I behave inappropriately young for my age, & I know that people notice it & it has a terrible effect on my life. Posters on this thread have complained about that. I'm just asking others who have this disorder if it seems to ring true for some of them & if they feel that it's a product of their being bipolar, too, because I'd always assumed that I did it as some sort of defense mechanism or lack of social skills, which other bipolars don't necessarily deal with. My Pdocs have always told me that they couldn't give me a conclusive answer as to whether or not I am BP2 since "there is no blood test or any kind of test for it". It's very frustrating!!! I found this thread interesting b/c I can relate, & I'm just trying to figure myself out.
