Of course, no one here can diagnose.

I am bipolar, and my situation is unique compared to other people with bipolar.

The most important thing to remember is that mental illness is not a one-size-fits-all box. Each individual experiences mental illness in their own individual ways.

You may not have bipolar at all. I would be relieved to know nothing is wrong with me after an evaluation, though I do understand the concern.

Be as detailed as possible about the symptoms, how long they last and severity, and especially how it makes you feel and how you cope with it. A simple therapist may be all you need.

And I know antidepressants are generally not recommended for those who have bipolar. I had a psychotic manic episode after taking antidepressants...
