Are you sure your not just getting disphoric (hypo) mania? There only needs to be one mania whether euphoric or disphoric to be dx'd bipolar. A lot of us have different meanings of (hypo)mania and mixed episodes and so do our pdocs. A couple weeks ago my posts led to a thread of whether or not my mixed symptom's were severe enough for hospitalization. When I just viewed them as vaguely out of character but at times my therapist was very concerned as was this board. Could that be happening to you ? Your pdoc wants to keep that DX for a reason. Did s/he say why? Each of us have very different symptoms. I very quickly become paranoid , and delusional, but hardly ever actually hallucinate. I would honestly next time you see pdoc ask very directly why s/he thinks BP ?
