I find that my social anxiety still has control over me even when I'm hypo/manic, so I never feel like "everyone is in love with me".

Instead, I feel like everyone should be in love with me because I'm so amazing. lol

Bipolar disorder is such a heterogenous illness. No two people get manic or depressed in exactly the same way. You still may be bipolar; maybe your manias manifest themselves with the shopping sprees and other, subtler symptoms. How do you feel when your up? High, like you've consumed some heroin? Invincible? Unstoppable? In tune with the universe, more than satisfied with yourself and your life, on your own private mission to correct all the injustices in the world? Or do you just feel happy?
