I feel like a fraud because I went years without any mania or depression. I took meds (the wrong kind) and seen a pdoc every 6 months. But I mean years. 16 years. And I went through some tough times. But I knew and it reared it's ugly head this past year and I almost comitted sucide. I'm on all new meds now and I move a little slower. But if I come out and tell someone I'm bipolar they can't believe it. So that makes me feel like a fraud.
