There are some things that bother me about having mental illness...like having to be on meds for the past 32 years. I don't even know who I really am, and I'm sleepy all of the time.

I'm glad there are names for the various dx's. What bothers me most of all is that I still don't understand why I'm told I have BD. My pdoc is 100% sure of it. My T said she sees that I'm more manic than depressive. My daughter has always agreed with my diagnosis.

I really don't understand it all, though. For example, when I am excited about something I express being excited. I talk more and more rapidly. I use my hands to express myself more. and so on. Well, why is that "mania"? Maybe it's just how I express being excited (I make sense and people can understand me).

So that is what bothers me about my dx.
