I have long questioned whether or not I really have bipolar 1. I've never done anything like fly across the country just for the hell of it or run down the street naked, so I tend to be somewhat in denial even though I've been diagnosed BP 1 by four different providers. I've been stable for the most part for a couple of years and the memories of how bad it really was are kinda blurred. Recently I've begun to think I'm overmedicated and am experimenting with cutting back on the daytime meds, and I feel better.
