I was also misdiagnosed with major depressive disorder probably bc of the suicide attempt and self injury. In retrospect I have no doubt that I go manic, but when I'm in the mania/psychosis I think I'm completly sane and in the right. I wholeheartedly believe ppl are out to get me/following me/interfering with my thoughts etc. Right now I know that is just the mania. Medicated, I tend to have manic episodes about once a year unless outside circumstances cause me to flip. The advice every doctor has given me is no matter how good you feel Do Not stop taking your meds. Today, I think just that - I don't need meds. But, in the past when I've stoppped taking them the result is awful. I lose jobs, friends, money, and self-destruct.
