So now I'm schizophrenic

Mom can be so clueless at times. She now insists I'm not bipolar, but schizophrenic. Why? Because I have agression and poor impulse control during a hypomanic episode. I also don't sleep.

Yeah, I'm schizophrenic...not. I don't hear voices in my head, I don't have hallucinations, and I don't stand on the street corner naked claiming to have a direct link to God warning the world of impending doom.

I'm bipolar. The symptoms I'm exhibiting are pretty classic really. Nowhere near schizophrenia. Why won't the armchair diagnostics STOP! I can't deal with my illness when I can't even discuss it without being told I'm wrong!
