I used to think the same thing, that I just had a lot of energy and was high spirited. I was actually diagnosed for the first time in 2008, but I rejected the diagnosis and the meds. Big mistake. It got worse and worse. The depressive episodes are horrible. Now I take Wellbutrin, Viibrid, Vyvanse, and Abilify. Finally, I'm starting to understand how it feels to 'be normal', whatever that means.
