I came to the doctors saying I thought I was bipolar. They diagnosed me bipolar 1 because they thought I was having a mixed episode (which at the time wasn't considered indicative of anything else). The meds made me far worse; mood, cognition, and ambition all took a dive. I went back and they said I don't sound bipolar at all, so they changed my diagnosis to mood disorder nos, and now I'm waiting for a neuropsych exam.

The one strange thing is that I did have a 4 month period of delusions, but my obsessive compulsiveness kept me from trying to deliver my message to the world until it was perfect, and after 1000+ pages, I lost interest and shredded it all.
