It sounds like maybe she has some criteria for how often you have to go up and down for it to be considered bipolar.

I hope you do call the clinic. And I hope you can talk to your doctor, or find a doctor your more comfortable with. I'm not sure if you mean you aren't comfortable talking to THAT doctor for some reason, or just any doctor. But I can promise you one thing: All doctors have heard this before. They won't judge you for it.
