Wow! I am glad I'm not the only one. I have always tended to be more hypomanic than depressed, which is why it took so long to get diagnosed. I also am struggling with who I am now if what I've always been before is bipolar. My husband says I'm the same person, just tamed down in a good way (like not taking a sledge hammer to my kitchen walls because I get a great idea) I agree that I think because of the way my brain works that I see things and think things others wouldn't. I also think people who aren't like me are boring : ) Lol...still working on accepting the "medicated me." Thanks for all the input!
