What is wrong with me?

Hi.  I'm not sure if this is where I should be posting but here goes.  I am obssessed with wanting to have a mental illness.  Bipolar is number one on the list.  Obviously something is wrong with me but what?  Any ideas?

Ok is that you feel like you DO have a mental illness? If so then go to the doctor for an evaulation or is it that you think something is wrong with you and you are attributing it to a mental illness? Either way a professional will help you to understand what is going on.

No, I'm not bored. I work 45 hours a week, go to college 14 hours and teach sunday school.  I'm really worried about this.  I honestly don't want to mentally ill but that feeling is there. Yea, I guess I should talk to someone.

My question to you is, do you think there is something wrong with you? do you act a certain way, do you do things out of the normal? do you have certain issues?
maybe your "obsession" is a need for a diagnosis. Some people swear there is something wrong with them, and they will do anything to find the answer.
i think maybe you should seek an evaluation.
