I fit into that category of people who "think" they have it. I've thought I've had it since I was 16, I'm almost 29 now. At 16 I was able to identify it as being "wow, that's me... oh damn" and had recognized it in the years prior. I don't think that it's cool, and I've tried my best to ignore it for the past 13 years. If I do have it then it is definitely BP2 and I function quite normally most of the time.
It might be getting overdiagnosed, it might not. I wouldn't know. I guess I just felt like posting in here because it felt like you were signalling out people like me who have came to the forum to start looking for answers... either before or during their decision to seek help. Almost like you're telling us that we're imagining it.
Which I don't really think you are saying, at least I hope not.
