One of the reasons I haven't told my cousin (who I'm otherwise close to) is because his brother is bp and he and his wife despise him. He is a bit of an a **, but they associate this with bipolar. I've tried to explain otherwise to them (much of what they don't like about him, I think, doesn't have to do with the bp, or at least not directly) but just not worth it to tell them.
I don't know if I've misunderstood, but it seems that you're basing what you think your pdoc has diagnosed you with on what he's prescribing for you (mood stabilizer instead of AD). Have you talked to him about the diagnosis/do you think he has doubts, or is this you having doubts and/or not accepting the diagnosis?
