Hi 251turnaround. You are far from being the only one whose questioned bipolar episodes. The issue is insight. Sometimes we can't fully comprehend what's going on in our own brains and how we present to the public. Experts and loved ones see different things from what we may see. Sure, some people have relatives that question their illnesses, too. Sometimes there is some merit to that, but other times it's denial or even that such symptoms became "normalized", at times. And other reasons. The quest to answer "What is normal behavior?" is sometimes a tough one. Or sometimes it's "How abnormal was that behavior?"
