I went to the psychiatrist at school and he told me I was fine, no dx even though I wasn't sleeping much and everything seemed vivid and I was seeing shimmers. He said it was just probably due to the stress of working three jobs and commuting to school.

When I had full fledged mania and a psychotic break, some years later, I convinced the doctors it was just female stuff about trying to get pregnant. Finally my family had me committed (5150) to the hospital where I was diagnosed with bipolar I. I think it's correct because I have had the symptoms since I was a teen.
