I have been in similar situations where My P doc and my t all thought I was out for the attention. At the time I was a juvinile and at a juvinile mental institution center. I would basically go nuts and run around picking fights with the staff, then tryin to have inappropriate relations with some of the staff. It got really bad to the point where they just kicked me out because they thought I was "faking it". I, like you, do not wish to have all that fun, fun attention from being mentally unstable. I also agree that you shouldn't just stop taking your meds. If your going to do that be sure that there is someone that you know and trust that is completely aware of your BP to be there with you and to help you, just in case. Seein as you have had some trouble in the past with suicide, I really wouldn't want to hear that you really did go through with it and succeeded in it.
My honest opinion about your 1st T, is that you shouldn't necessarily ignore him, but not take it to heart either. Not everyone is going to understand why you do the things you do in the fashion that they do. What you need is someone who is openminded and willing to give you a shot. Your 2nd T seems to have helped you out quite a bit. If you have been seeing T #2 for about 2 years now, then you probably shouldn't go back to that 1st one anymore.
But like I said this is all just ideas in the air. I hope, at the least, that something in here was helpful to you.
