Yeah, that's what I was expecting. It's nice he offered to do an EEG though, just to be sure.
Any reason why? I always felt that you considered your symptoms as no different from any physical symptom in terms of acceptance and your identity?
Wow! I'm shocked! You very rarely ever talk about mood symptoms, and idk how you could've had a manic episode without knowing about it. I know your delusions were quite grandiose, but they never mentioned mania when you were in the hospital...it's just odd. Shame you didn't clarify what it meant, but I'm like that, never think of it at the time lol
That doesn't mean anything though. Just because you're higher functioning, doesn't mean it's not psychotic. There are exceptions to every rule.
Are you very controlled when you post and IRL? It's just I've never got a mood-vibe from you and you post a lot...I guess I just find it weird to think that I've missed such a big aspect of your experiences. Idk, I just felt like I know you and the other regulars, but just goes to show how little we actually know about each other... I hope I haven't offended you. I don't mean to sound like I doubt your experiences or your doctors. I'm just surprised that's all. I guess that I should know better though cos I'm quite reserved and controlled in my posts, and IRL

Well pdoc said its all rule out so this must be in some secret doctor coding----but I couldn't really ask them to clarify as they didn't dx me being neuro and I probably shouldn't have been reading her sheet. I am as controlled irl as here that's why I never seriously considered it. I have to admit the first episode I felt more social, bought a car, and ipad and iphone and that's about it---they said hypomanic to me so I'm not getting how they get bipolar 1 from that , it may be why its still a rule out----I don't think anyone has said I fit into any kind of mold as far as stereotypes---they tend to specifically say that I don't.
As far as medical vs psych----if I'm having a medical problem it means I don't need psych meds, may not need any meds, if its psych I probably need APs on a more consistent basis----generally I'd prefer no meds to meds.
