Oh don't let them tell you that crap wildflowerchild25. Seriously. You know yourself better than anyone else, and you know what your therapist and your pdoc have been telling you for years.

As far it being "just hormones" I am literally a walking example of hormones gone completely awry. I was born without a thyroid gland, and it severely screwed everything to do with my metabolism, period, EVERY DAMN THING. Sure, I take synthroid, but there is just so much a medication can do in place of an organ.

I suffer from all those hormonal ailments you describe, irratibility being on the top of that list, and as for my period, I haven't seen it since early 2017, and that's a whole other issue in itself.

So, no, stick to your guns on your bipolar diagnosis. Don't let that woman fool you. Just take care of you, take your meds and be as compliant as you can.
