Idk, I'm pretty sure my bp started when I was 21 after I had my son. I think I went through a mini psychosis. So do the drs. I wasn't officially diagnosed until I was 36. I went through a horrible psychosis. Completely lost touch with reality and it had some truth in it too. About this organization I was abused in.

But I loved my hypos. Helped get me through college and working while in college while raising my son alone. On the weekends when my mom would take my son I did some risky things. Had a lot of fun tho. Depressions were absolute hell before meds. Months and months of torture. I was on AD s. I was also on sleep meds. Had drs think I was bp but I just didn't see it. Even after being diagnosed at 36 I still didn't believe it. But I do now. Now that I'm stable and on mood stabilizers and don't go too high or too low anymore. I also haven't been in a mixed episode in over a yr. I had lots of mixed episodes. What a horrible way to live.

I really hope you come to some kind of conclusion. Maybe ask for the tests. When I went into the psychosis they gave me a ton of tests once I started sleeping. That eases my mind too into knowing I have bp.

Good luck.
Thanks for this!
