Hi and welcome

I am bipolar and looking back I can see now that I had some mood and energy swings for a couple of decades before I was diagnosed but I was usually high functioning so it took a long time to diagnose me. And in my particular case the mood swings got worse when I was perimenopausal. If your symptoms do not interfere with your life then as your doctor said you do not need meds. If they do become a problem you can deal with the meds then.

Here in the USA we are supposed to tell the Dept of Motor Vehicles if we have a mental illness and I tried but they were idiots. They kept telling me I couldn't drive a car if I had seizures and I kept saying, I don't have seizures, I have bipolar, but they didn't have a clue. Finally one of the employees marked out my yes answer to "do I have a mental illness" and marked the no answer. I thought well he did it, not me and laughed. It is frustrating how many people have such wild misconceptions about mental illness.

Whether you do or don't have a mental illness you are welcome here. This is a great group of folks.
