My therapist is sure that I have bipolar disorder and wants me to see a psychiatrist. My husband says he is "100% sure" that I have bipolar disorder. I know that there is something wrong me with me, but I'm not sure it's bipolar disorder. I'm afraid I'll see the psychiatrist and he'll put me on meds that I don't need. How can I ever know for sure that I really have bipolar disorder? I feel like if I were just a better/stronger person, I could control my mood swings. It's hard for me to admit that I can't control it. I just feel scared. I know I have to change, though, because my moods are ruining my life. I alternate between severe depression and doing ridiculously stupid things (like quitting my job, spending too much money, moving to a foreign country,etc.)
