I think my sister is bipolar. She tells me she has been diagnosed with depression only, but I seriously doubt that. I think she doesn’t want us to know she’s actually bipolar. Her highs are higher and her lows are lower than anybody. She sees “auras” around people sometimes. Sometimes her grip on reality is tenuous. It’s very hard.
Sounds about right. Like I said, no doctor. The stigma attached to mental illness is still a big deal.
I hope your sister can get the right therapy/meds and care she needs. Honestly, unchecked bipolar is like watching a runaway train; people get hurt as does the driver.
It’s just so hard to diagnose. Take notes. It’ll help the care team/doctor big time.
