I go back and forth with the bipolar diagnosis. I don't even think I have bipolar when I'm well, but tend to obsess about it and what kind of episode I might be in when I'm unwell. It's not good, but it's what I do.
Yeah I get that. I care about it in that I want to be treated properly and not being given medications I don't need.

I forget I'm schizophrenic on a regular basis, especially when people tell me I'm doing well.
