Has anyone been diagnosed with Bipolar Mood Disorder?

How were you diagnosed? What were the signs that you saw within yourself?

I am going through professional re-diagnosis of my "depression" after years of manic and depressive episodes with faulty treatment. Long story short, my old physician is a twat and always misdiagnosed or mistreated me with awful medications.

I would love to hear other's experiences. I want to feel normalized in this process, whatever that is. 😳

@SW-User That is what I experience. The irritability is always attributed to my Anxiety disorder, but the massive swings in my personality and mood are awful. Manic depressive would give me more comfort, but with the personality changes/interest changes, my new Dr. is leaning towards Bipolar Mood Disorder.

@foxontherun holding my crazy in makes it worse, a site like this where I can be anonymous and as weird as I want helps with certain aspects.
