So I went to the doctor.
He diagnosed me with Bipolar type 1 and said i have social anxiety disorder.
I don't get it though, I make a lot of friends when I am going through a manic episode, but looking at the doctor's diagnoses he makes sense.
He said that although I am social, I still have feeling associated social anxiety such as paranoia and being uncomfortable around people.
Does this make sense to anyone? Is the doctor just labeling me with social anxiety disorder because he wants me take extra meds or can this actually happen?
I haven't had a normal non-episode time since 2003, so obviously, when I am depressed I am anti-social, but when I am manic, I am the center of attention, sitting there telling stories, sweet talking girls to get them into bed(im sorry).
I just can't tell how his little questionnaire suggests I have social anxiety
