Sometimes I still overthink my illness. Is this my illness, or is this normal behavior? It's natural to start evaluating our behavior, I still do it, but now that I'm stable on meds and therapy I do it less. Research as much as you need to about bipolar disorder , and get comfortable in your knowledge of its symptoms. Keep a journal. I keep one to record my thoughts and emotions. Especially when I have dosage changes, or medication changes, or stressful life events. I look for positive, and negative emotional and cognitive changes. Otherwise I may not be able to tell my pdoc what works , and what doesn't. Really educate yourself, but try not to obsess. I did for a while. I don't now. I wish you the very best.
