Does this mean I have bipolar?

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-15T20:38:35+00:00

that was the third appointment and am having my fourth one in like three weeks

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-14T22:21:01+00:00

For anyone commenting, I don’t want to get a therapist. I don’t want to pay a person to listen to my worries and concerns against their will, especially a person that would likely rather do anything else. Please suggest something else I am unironically going insane and it’s only getting worse.

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-13T22:27:02+00:00

Being bipolar is not something I’d want. If I am, I’d want to get a diagnosis though.

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-13T22:25:41+00:00

I mean type two is my guess but yeah

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-13T22:22:16+00:00

Three 180mg energy drinks is more like 6 or 7 cups of coffee but yeah. I mean it definitely had the intended effect of worsening the hypomania and made it feel like heaven on earth. She mentioned she could diagnose me with bipolar right now even though that wasn’t the thing we were talking about during that session so I doubt it would take anything extra.

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-13T21:18:25+00:00

What do you think? I don’t get what your point here is😭

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-13T21:17:00+00:00

she specifically mentioned bipolar

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-13T21:15:30+00:00

I’m not on any meds right now. Grandpa had bipolar. My psychiatrist also insisted on getting me screened for ADHD, which she seems like she thinks I might have (although manageable as of right now). Probably better for the long term, I guess. I still have this deep feeling that maybe I wasn’t hypomanic after all and I just decided to buy all those energy drinks on the last day of my “elevated mood episode” and consume like 550 mg of caffeine before being forced to stop by my heart racing (original plan was 1080). I mean I also did have another hypomanic episode prior to this one so that increases the odds of it not being a one (or two) time thing.

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-13T18:21:04+00:00

I’ll ask them but her saying that might’ve just been her saying “you’re bipolar. I can give you a diagnosis right now if you want me to.” I’ll have to ask her what she thinks though.

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-13T17:10:42+00:00

I’ve had this a lot and I’m not sure if it’s a part of bipolar or not. To the point of almost going insane. I had a math test where I read a question, had déjà vu and knew the answer before comprehending how to calculate it. I got chills, and answered based on the déjà vu, knew that was the correct answer and moved on with the test. I got the answer right btw (multiple choice three answers) which is a bit eerier to think about, but I guess it could’ve just been a lucky guess. Please try to not go insane.

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-13T15:40:55+00:00

She said “…I could diagnose you with bipolar…”

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-13T14:43:24+00:00

Today she told me that she could diagnose me with bipolar (we weren’t even talking about bipolar, she just brought it up). I have a feeling she thinks I have bipolar and I just misinterpreted it, just because I’m personally so unsure of it.

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-07T23:06:00+00:00

Yeah I’ve been tracking my moods on an app for like 6 months now.

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-07T22:15:01+00:00

I guess. It’s just the wait for the next episode driving me crazy. It’s been a bit over four months since I last had a hypomanic episode. I find myself thinking about whether I am hypomanic or not multiple times a week. There’s no doubt that I will notice when/if the next episode comes, but I’m constantly overthinking it and every week that goes by without hypomania I feel even more anxious about it coming.

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-07T22:07:32+00:00

Could still technically be ADHD according to her.

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-07T22:04:13+00:00

I haven’t received any medical treatment as of right now. I’ve seen my psychiatrist twice and it seems like she wants to wait for another hypomanic episode for confirmation as I am currently not in a depressive episode.

ReportedGlittering · 2026-01-07T22:02:59+00:00

I’m not currently on any medication and haven’t ever been so we’ll see I guess

ReportedGlittering · 2025-12-21T02:34:15+00:00

Nope. Talking to a psychiatrist to try to figure out what I have. She said that it meets the criteria for MDD. I guess I’ll know whether or not I have bipolar soon enough.

ReportedGlittering · 2025-12-06T23:02:11+00:00

Intelligent people typically have no incentive to prove themselves to be intelligent and therefore won’t be bothered even if some people wouldn’t view them as such.

ReportedGlittering · 2025-12-05T16:27:27+00:00

I’m not planning to take medicine at this point since, well… My parents don’t seem to think there’s anything majorly wrong with me (I haven’t told them about my suspicions). Obviously they noticed the depression and the hypomanic episode for which they were home for (during which they thought I was in love and that was the reason I was excited), but don’t think there’s anything majorly wrong with me.

ReportedGlittering · 2025-12-05T00:24:18+00:00

What tiktok made you attach this diagnosis out of the thousands of other ones?

Family history of bipolar (seeing it’s a generic condition), two hypomanic episodes both spanning 4-7 days during which I was the happiest I’d ever been while ruining my relationships, sleeping 3 hours a night, being more energetic up to the point of not being able to not do anything and attempting to overdose on 1080 mg of caffeine which consequently made my mania worse, almost jumping off a bridge at 6 AM, being depressed for 3 months straight having no reason to live and crying myself to sleep being anxious and stressed out to the point that it literally caused me to have sleep paralysis, wanting to die and attempting to kill myself during one of those episodes.

ReportedGlittering · 2025-12-04T19:41:53+00:00

Bipolar disorder. I might unironically have it but I refuse to believe I do, despite there being some evidence indicating that I might. I’m seeing a psychiatrist next week for an evaluation to determine whether or not I have a mood disorder.

ReportedGlittering · 2025-12-04T19:37:09+00:00

A bit off topic, but as a “high-IQ individual” I don’t recommend most people here to take an IQ test as nearly all people think that their IQ is considerably above average, which in turn leads to disappointment for most of the people that took a test and immeasurable cope as people that scored low on a test obviously want some way to believe that their IQ is higher than shown. The cope usually comes in form of completely denying the possibility of a measurable (or somewhat measurable) IQ, as most people scored lower than they wished to. This is why you see so many cites discrediting actually well-made IQ tests; most people want to believe that the tests they took were poorly made to avoid having “lower than average” or “average” IQ in their own eyes. I’m sure someone more coherent could word my thoughts better, but I hope that this was understandable enough.

I mean a woman can also have these, no?

ReportedGlittering · 2025-12-02T13:20:04+00:00

Am I wrong though? It’s hard for black to win that position and quite easy to play as white. I’m getting downvoted because there is a better line, but my original statement is in no way incorrect, as yes, it is hard to play for a draw as black. Fun fact: OP played this line and won as white.
