Hope everyone is having a great day. So I am extremely high functioning to the point that my doctor doesn't think that I am bipolar. He thinks that I just have PTSD and stated that sometimes it can mimic bipolar symptoms. Although I have been treated for bipolar for the last 6 years. But at the same time I am able to work full time(for the last four years), graduate college and I want to pursue my MBA next. My career goal is to become an executive at a fortune 500 company. Although I am functional, I still think I am bipolar because my mood swings slightly sometimes. I will be depressed one week and then the next day completely fine. Also I have had crises when I have been suicidal(but never actually attempted suicide) as well as wanting to cut. Also seven years ago major depressive episode where I was slightly psychotic. But aside for that one time being delusional while severely depressed the psychotic features never came back.I have never been psychotic ever again. What do you all think? It sounds like I am bipolar right? Also are any of you high functioning although your bp? Thanks for your answers.
