I was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 about 20 years ago. I wondered if that was really accurate because I don't think I have full-blown mania. I only have a few symptoms, like insomnia, shopping sprees, and a slight grandiosity. But no one can tell that I'm "manic" aside from the shopping. For instance, I don't talk energetically and nonstop.

I don't kow if I doubt the diagnosis because I'm actually hypomanic instead of manic or if I'm a good actress and used to hiding my problems from other people. I've become really good at acting undepressed, for one thing.

Do you doubt your diagnosis? If you have talked to your psychiatrist about it, what did he or she say?
