I suspected it back in high school. In early college, I became more and more convinced. I saw a T who referred me to a pdoc, and she confirmed to dx. Pretty much every pdoc I've seen since thinks I'm either bipolar or schizoaffective, except for the pdoc I saw in the hospital, who said I have "bipolar symptoms" and high anxiety. So I don't really know what my real diagnosis is. But anyway, to answer your question...I thought for awhile that I was bipolar and then got a bp diagnosis.
