Oh man, @JaneOnceMore, I was in Ontario like 2 weeks having sex with that guy I had only met online! At least he was around my age. I didn't make the best decisions around that time for sure, I also got involved dating (and having sex) with a guy I met in the psych hospital after I OD'ed. Probably all that should have been enough for pdocs to diagnose me with bipolar, but you know, afterwards I was really embarassed by it and didn't tell the pdocs and they didn't probe AT ALL. Which if they had I would have told them, same with spending money, it embarassed me, so I didn't tell the pdocs and again they didn't probe. But after showing up manic at a pdoc appt., I got diagnosed with bipolar I, and finally later I admitted such things to that pdoc who had a much more gentle touch and did probe more deeply than others had.
