I want to figure this out but that is just for now, my opinion changes as much as my mood, and often they work together. I know it's my choice and I have to really want it, that doesn't make it any easier.
I'm sure that if you suspected you had cancer, that you'd get tested right away. If not, and it turned out that you did have cancer, it could cost you your life for failing to get a diagnosis and treatment. The same is true of bipolar disorder: it can be a life-threatening illness if left undiagnosed and untreated.
