I was diagnosed with depression at 12 and the ENTIRE time I was like “yeah sometimes I have manic episodes” and it took me having to try to kill myself during a manic episode and then institutionalizing myself for doctors to be like “oh I think it’s actually bipolar disorder” NO SHIT WE COULD HAVE ESTABLISHED THAT 12 YEARS EARLIER IF YOU HAD JUST LISTENED TO ME
They. They forgor
