Thanks Clinte for your response. I guess I just feel weird about blurting it out as straight forward as that. I've drawn a graph charting my mood vs my energy levels and jotted down symptoms at each point of the cycle just to get it clear in my head. Do you think I should show it to him or would I just seem neurotic?

The reason I'm so nervous is because I've tried to bring up the mood swings before with my pdoc at home, because the 'mixed' episodes are so dangerous as my mood is so low and I'm suicidal but I have all this energy to do something about it. Anyway she just completely blew me off, saying that she was a "purist" so only diagnosed bipolar with a manic episode, and didn't even let me finish what I was saying! I'm worried it might go the same way with Uni pdoc...
