I have a family history of it and I have had more than one person tell me that they think I have bipolar disorder. I have all of the symptoms that you would think I was. Spending money on stuff I don't need, coming up with these seemingly great business ideas and then abandoning them, wanting to rearrange my house and then abandoning that idea. 

Pressured speech, continuing to talk even when it's obvious that people don't want to hear it and having mood swings and then having the cycles of being on a high and then being super depressed. The thing is, a few of the doctors I've been to have alluded to the fact that I have the symptoms but they don't want to come out and diagnose me.

 My mom was diagnosed with type 1 in 93. What do I do? They keep saying it's other things but I just feel like it's more than that and I'm pretty sure that I have it because I know myself better than those doctors and it's just so frustrating because no one will listen to me. How do I find a doctor who will actually listen to me? It seems like they only want to spend a few minutes with me and then shuffle me out the door.
