I see a therapist regularly and saw her today. I had a manic episode a few weeks ago but hesitated to label it as such when I was speaking to her -- I just described it to her and let her say "that sounds like it was a manic episode."

BP is something that I live with, it's something I've researched a lot... why am I so afraid to seem like an 'expert' about it? I feel like my therapist has to tell me what state I'm in, that I'm not qualified to say so. Can anyone relate?
