It's okay. I often find bizarre reasons to convince myself I'm not bipolar. I think it's a common thing with BP people.
The problem with mental illness is that diagnoses are subjective, not objective. When you go to the doctor and you get diagnosed with high cholesterol, you don't debate it because you have proof. You took a blood test. With mental illness, there isn't any kind of test. There's no "proof"
