Based off of what you know about me , What mental illness do you think I have?

I know y’all ain’t doctors, but you can still tell me. I asked my boyfriend this because he used to be a a nurse at a mental health hospital (by the way that’s not where we met. I was NOT a patient at his hospital 🤣🤣) and he picked bipolar 😩 because apparently I start fights with him randomly 🙄 Honestly, I think he’s just stereotyping me. Clearly he doesn’t know much about bipolar because then he would know that it’s not true at all because honestly, I just have a lot on my mind and I just think about things and then it just bothers me so maybe that’s not bipolar. Maybe I just have PTSD 🤷🏿‍♀

You've definitely got some anxiety. Probably coupled with depression, which can create the illusion of bipolar, but I don't think you have true bipolar.

@LordShadowfire
Thank you for your answer. And why do you think I don’t have bipolar?

Give me some insight so that I can share it with him because he thinks I have it 🙄

@TurtlePink I think that anxiety coupled with depression can cause symptoms similar to bipolar. One day you're up, but you're not happy so much as frantic. That's the difference. With true bipolar, your high energy days have you acting really happy.

Naturally, I could be wrong. This could be what's going on with you.

@LordShadowfire I mean, maybe I just have stuff going on in my life that’s why I don’t really like labels.
