bi polar mystery

G'day People, Firstly all the best for the christmas season. I want to touch on some of the mystery of Bi Polar it is said that you must have a manic phase at least once to be diagnosed with BP. So what is that you may ask, some of us go on unknowing /undiagnosed for years, It can't be that the doctors just fail to ask the questions as they did with me and call it depression, Why did I not see my own strange behavior? It seems still true today and for many suffering BP confusion or not knowing we are manic or higher than normal. I know by the time I realize I feel so silly often that starts the down hill cycle. There seems to be an elimate of fantasy driving the hypo state however minimal the behavioral difference. I am superman r whoops no I'm not. Is it safe to dream, sad to think ones dreams need to be put on a tight rope might stop now feeling sad few more tears haven't run out yet
