Thanks, everyone, for the super speedy responses! I was hoping to hear from people quickly since I guess I have to start getting ready in about 30-45 mins

I think I will just give an extremely abridged version. I'm not looking for a diagnosis. My diagnosis is definitive and confirmed by about 8 or 9 psychiatrists total (some in and out of the hospital). Once I went to a psychologist/therapist who announced as soon as I sat down "I will diagnose you!" I was like, "WTF! I don't need another confirmation for the obvious!" I ended up having to tell my whole story just to convince her of the diagnosis I told her in the first sentence of my session. She was like "OK, I guess you do have bipolar type 1."
