LL,
This is not a lose, lose and YOU are not a lose, lose. I have been concerned about you. Bipolar is only a word. You need to treat the symptoms. And if the symptoms tip to bipolar, then they tip to bipolar.
I have read that book. I have feared that diagnosis for myself and for others in my family. So far, I think I am not on the bipolar spectrum. Think is the operative word. Most of my docs have not thought I was bipolar. One or two did question. I have a couple of family members who will never go to the doctor who I really question!
Why can't you be the genius you are and bipolar, too? Of course you can! A diagnosis is just a way to bill the insurance company and try to figure out the right meds. If bipolar meds work for you, that is wonderful! Embrace them.
Hugs,
MidnightBlue
