I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder type II.

Damn, I knew it.
I suspected it, and I went to see a psychiatrist today and damn it, even though I thought it was a possibility, it is really hard to deal with this new information.
I always thought I had a joyful personality with a hint of depression from some of my past experiences, but then I'm being diagnosed by a professional and everything now has another taste.
I don't think I'll be taking the medication... I'm in a neutral phase now, or so I think.
The psychiatrist said that 80% of the doctors have a mental health disorder, among which bipolar, she was trying to soothe me and convince me it was okay (even though I already seemed completely okay with it...) but damn is it hard to accept. I just didn't show it.
I wish me the best, and I wish all the people having it the best too.

I DO wish you the best. Just for your own peace of mind, be aware that among the sciences, psychiatry is the fuzziest and least accurate. As a trained medical professional, you are probably more qualified to diagnose yourself...and you have, really.

The bottom line is that you feel okay. You've had some upsets, and you are grieving, and that is all very normal.

There is no need to medicate.
