I recently requested all of my psych medical records. The one pdoc was when I was originally diagnosed eight years ago. He wrote about how he thought I was bipolar, but that I kept denying it for a long time. I never knew I had done that, I thought I accepted it when told, but it wasn't until later on while seeing him. There was an incident that happened that made me realize I was. The last pdoc was a joke, that I put up for six years or so. Reading it I was all over the place, but I realized it was probably because she had me on so many meds, eight at one time. She had meds on there that I was not allergic to, and had not listed ones I was. My new pdoc just recently filled out my Intermittent FMLA paperwork. At this time I was going through a phase where I was questioning my BP because I am high functioning. He wrote that I had poor judgement during episodes. There were other things as well, that I can't remember. I realized how bad it can get for me, and I was in denial and it was more serious than I thought.
