I have literally never had an episode of hypomania in my life. I've been horribly depressed, and had some periods where I felt way better, but nothing crazy where I felt like I had to spend a shit ton of my money or something.
How the fuck do I go about either getting a correct diagnosis or scrubbing that shit altogether?

I met a diagnosed bipolar person before who always swore they were just hyperactive. I read later that there's some kind of side-condition called anosognosia that means most bipolar peoples struggle to accept the diagnosis and desperately try looking for other explanations that usually make less sense

Maybe you can request the notes from your diagnosis. Typically they make you take at least one test or eval prior to diagnosis. It should show if you do have some signs of mania you might not be aware of
