Were you misdiagnosed with depression (or another illness) before you were diagnosed with bipolar?

I was never diagnosed with anything.
And this bipolar thing came out because my wife sent me to a shrink. At 63.
I was too rowdy and womanizer. Self medicated all the time.
In a sentence, I was having too much fun.
I admit to the depression or "weakness" I've felt all my life.
Men were not supposed to be depressed at the time. So it was "weakness".
I was making too much money to be depressed, they told me. So no reason.
I don't have bipolar. I have maybe MDD.
I was born hyper. I move, shake, rattle and roll. Is that a sin?.
Never hurting anyone. Everybody was aware that I was "different". That's all.
Now, with the self medicating thing, I can be.... not the same. There.
Cheers.
