I think its simpler and worse than this. "Sometimes I'm happy; Sometimes I'm sad; I must be bi-polar" She has no concept that regular people feel regular emotions and arent happy all the time. She wants to blame the feeling sad part as being out of her control when its really sad that she can barely move and is missing out on so much in life due to her laziness. She doesnt want her being sad to be her fault, but it is.She doesn't have bipolar. I work with people diagnosed with bipolar, and I work with mental health professionals and am aware that bipolar is usually the first thing they'll diagnose someone with from their grab bag of DXs. Because they, more often than not, have very limited time with the patient at first. Even intake is limited. Over several visits, they iron things out with the help of a psychologist and/or group therapy.
Bipolar (real bipolar) often lands you in jail. Multiple times. Or the psych ward at the hospital. Multiple times. You'll meet someone with a history of petty (or major) crime. For petty's sake, it's stealing bullshitass things from Walgreens or the Mobil station. Major can involve domestic violence, drug related crimes (landing you in drug court).
You're right. The process for a true diagnosis takes months to years. Hambutt prolly went to the hosptal once, had the sadzz, and the nurse or doctor said "You might be bipolar" and like all fatasses, she twists the words and runs with it.
Meds: Psychosis thing is real. One of the venues I meet people in is the doctor's office/drug detox center/mental health facility. Because they all have security guards or an on site police officer. When these people sometimes flip out...they're in the right place to do it
She is locked in a fat cage of emotion.
