Oh and then there was the psychiatrist who told me right out she thought I was faking it for attention. That was about when my insurance ran out so I said the hell with it and stopped taking meds, because I felt better and obviously no one else thought I had a problem either.

The story of your mom is really funny, but it's sad at the same time.
I've had a resident say the same thing, that I don't really have issues, I'm faking for attention. I was in emerge at the mental hospital for something different, but she even went as far as to say I don't have BP2. Said it flat to my face. It wasn't until mom brought the papers from the guy who dxd me that she took it back, and only because he's apparently some hot shot pdoc.

I get like that a lot. I've never been fully admitted to hospital, although I've gone to emerge 2ce and nothing came of it. I'm "just not severe enough" apparently... tell that to my work, or school, or friends, or family... My life tells a different story. -_-
Sorry, didn't mean to complain... old frustration.
