In the 10 years I've been on this board I've never once thought "she's not bipolar" on any post you've made. I have thought that about different people who've come and gone but never you. I've felt bad because you've had such a battle to feel better but I've never questioned whether this was your place on the internet. And as others have said even if you don't somehow meet diagnostic criteria this is YOUR place now.

I do think you have had the hyperfocus of hypomania before. You get very involved in an idea and research it to great extent. Partly you have a talent for this and partly it might be a symptom. It's kind of hard to know though.

The neuropsych testing can't hurt if it's covered by insurance and you might learn something interesting. Even if you take it and don't agree with it it's just a little more information on how your brain ticks that might help someone someday find the perfect treatment for you. It sounds like your therapist is trying to be comprehensive and that's a good thing.

Keep posting!
