One of the things I have struggled with is the idea I have BP. I know I have anxiety and depression issues (and readily acknowledge them) but I don't recognize (or perhaps refuse to see) the mania part of my behavior. For me, the mania always seem to be just a natural response to getting out of my depressive funk. My wife and others, however, see it as BP. I've not done anything too destructive, so I guess my question is as follows: at what point has the pendulum swung too far from depression to elation?
