my old pdoc told me I had bipolar and that was a while ago but today I saw my np and she told me that the only way to tell if I had bipolar was if I have gone nights without sleeping and still feel great(I used to have that when I was younger but with the meds im on now I cant). I told her I have rapid mood swings, racing thoughts and Irritability and so on. she kept saying that don't really matter and I have to have nights that I don't sleep and still feel good if I don't have that I don't have bipolar, do u really have to not sleep to be bipolar
