I can't really relate to this, as I've never wondered if anything was due to medications, and I don't really wonder why I feel the way that I feel. I either know the thing in life that caused the emotion, or I know it's just my brain being it's messed up little self.

So I'm not really hypersensitive to my behaviour. I have had lots of quirks that I've been aware of for well, always. I just accept them as part of myself. When I see that a lot of people here have the same or similar experiences/behaviours/quirks, then I love it because I don't feel alone. And then it makes me wonder if there's a relation to the bipolar - which I personally find incredibly interesting.

But then, I also don't tend to wonder if I'm headed up or down. I'm typically aware of it and KNOW that I'm in an up or a down, or totally unaware of it until I'm right in the middle. haha. No wondering about that for me!

If I do question things about myself, it's never once been due to the bipolar - it's due to family and my upbringing and how I was trained to behave with them.

So I suppose I disagree with your theory, but then, I think I'm in the rarer group of people who don't really question or fret about the diagnosis - it's just who I am and I've known it for years before the diagnosis. haha. I'm sure there's going ot be a lot of people who agree with you.
