I wasn't talking about thinking you have a mental illness when you don't (though I see that a lot too, like you said especially with bipolar disorder), but actually inducing one for..x, fill in the blank reason. I think I made kind of a shot in the dark creating this thread, but thanks for everyone's input.

That's interesting, I didn't know that's what you meant. How do you 'induce' this? Maybe it's a kind of chicken and egg thing, but how do 'make' yourself feel a certain way (i.e. depressed)? Do you feel like you create circumstances around you that you think or know will make you feel a certain way or behave in a certain way? My feeling is that you can't create feelings/thoughts, etc. out of thin air, they come from somewhere, someplace, however unconscious, that is 'real' if that makes sense. I don't know if you're willing to explain more, not sure if I get it, but thanks for posting this and I hope you find what you're looking for.
