Maybe I’m in denial about having bipolar disorder but I feel like I won’t relapse because the situation in which I had a manic episode was so particular (being emotionally abused and raped when I was 17/18). I really don’t think I’ll relapse because I’ll most likely not be in the same sort of stressful situation again, and especially now that I’ve matured and aged I can deal with my emotions better. Is it possible that you can have one manic episode and not actually have bipolar disorder? Maybe it’s considered a psychotic break?
